CA CVIC Series CRS-106 · 1931-1952
Part of City of Victoria fonds

Series consists of the main departmental records of the Parks Department.
The series has been divided into five separate sections. Four are chronological divisions; 1931-1936, 1936- 1945, 1946-1950 and 1950-1952. These records are arranged primarily by subject and chronologically within each file. The subjects are arranged alphabetically within each section, and many of them are repeated in each section. A fifth section covers general correspondence from 1935 to 1943. It would appear that this material was not grouped by subject. The file description also includes the original filing numbers
