Committee reports
CA CVIC Series CRS-4 · 1885-1956
Part of City of Victoria fonds

Series consists of reports to City Council by various committees. Prior to the implementation of the committee system in 1885, ad hoc committees were common, and their reports were recorded in the Council minutes (CRS 1).
The reports began to be numbered in 1891. These numbers were used as references in the indexes: the record of reports of committees (CRS 5) and the topical indexes (CRS 15). A chronological item-level descriptive list provides some subject access to the reports for 1885 to 1892.
There are gaps in this series for the first half of 1887, the first half of 1888 and all of 1890

Communications received
CA CVIC Series CRS-12 · 1940-1974
Part of City of Victoria fonds

Series consists of letters received by the Clerk's Office, other than those received primarily from internal and external governmental agencies (for which see CRS 13).
The material is arranged chronologically by received stamp number. "File numbers" (as provided in the file list for this series) combine file and item numbers; for example, "089 001-078" refers to file 89, items 1 through 78. "Reference" numbers are consecutive numbers given to individual items regardless of which file they are part of. In other words, reference numbers "31114-31266" are another way of pointing to the same items indicated by the file numbers "089 001-078".
Access to these records is provided by the communications received index (CRS 14), which is arranged chronologically by received stamp number and includes for each entry the sender and subject. Access can also be obtained through the topical index (CRS 15).
For other series of letters received, see CRS 11 (1862-1916) and CRS 13 (special correspondence inward)

Correspondence inward
CA CVIC Series CRS-11 · 1862-1916
Part of City of Victoria fonds

This 31 cm of correspondence is all that remains of the letters received by the City Clerk before 1940.
The correspondence covers a wide range of subjects, but there is no alphabetical subject index to it. A chronological item-level descriptive list, however, provides some access to correspondents and subjects for the existing letters. All correspondence inward from 1893 onwards, whether existing or not, is indexed chronologically in the communications received index (CRS 14).
For other series of letters received, see CRS 12 (1940-1974) and CRS 13 (special correspondence inward)

Council minutes
CA CVIC Series CRS-1 · 1862-1996
Part of City of Victoria fonds

Series consists of the minutes of City Council meetings. The original minute books are stored in City Hall and access is limited. There are microfilm copies available in the Archives starting with the 1862 meetings and continuing until 2000. Duplicate hard copies of the minutes of most years from 1977 to 1994 can be found in the Archives. The early minutes were handwritten and are sometimes difficult to read. Beginning with the 1927-1928 volume, the page numbers are listed on the spine of the volumes, and are sequential throughout the subsequent volumes until 1978.
The index to this series (CRS 2) uses the page numbers as references.
There is one volume of minutes of special and closed Council meetings (CRS 48) 1896-1900) which contains only 27 pages but includes, among other things, information relating to Council's actions regarding the collapse of the Point Ellice Bridge.
The Council minutes can be accessed in several manners: through the index to Council minutes (CRS 2), the topical indexes (CRS 15), and through a subject card index created by the Archives staff covering the years 1862 to 1870
