Fonds includes the records of City Council of the City of Vancouver, of the Office of the City Clerk (Council's secretariat), of elections and public relations divisions (both very small, and the elections division in operation only during election periods), and of the numerous committees, boards, and commissions whose records were/are the responsibility of the City Clerk. The fonds does not include the records of the Archives because it operates like a research institution (see the City of Vancouver Archives fonds). The series below are listed alphabetically by the creating office. The City's primary governing records are created by Council, under "Vancouver (B.C.). City Council" (by-laws, Council minutes, etc.), while the supporting documents to City Council records are within the series of the Clerk's, under "Vancouver (B.C.). Office of the City Clerk". The official records of the various boards are considered to be created by those boards (e.g. Airport Board).
