Series consists of copies of letters sent outward by the City Clerk, mostly communications ordered by Council.
Because the letters were bound chronologically, access is most effective using the alphabetical indexes to the letterbooks. Indexes for 1870 to 1893 are bound in at the beginning of the corresponding letterbooks, providing an alphabetical listing of names of correspondents, whether persons or organizations. Independent indexes providing similar listings are available for 1894 to 1973 (CRS 10), although these indexes also provide in addition a note on the topic of each letter. Subject access can also be obtained through the topical index (CRS 15), which covers the period from 1914 to 1974.
The series is relatively complete, with only a few gaps within years from 1902 to 1908. The first two letterbooks cover 1 April 1870 to 7 April 1873 and 31 March 1870 to 10 June 1875 respectively. The latter volume covers mostly mid 1873 to 1875 but there is still considerable overlap

Series consists of files, photographs, architectural material, and graphic material deriving from the Neighbourhood Improvement Program, which was developed in 1973 by the federal government to encourage and support the efforts of municipalities in concert with neighbourhood residents toward the improvement of the physical environment in neighbourhoods needing improvements (see amendments to the National Housing Act enacted by Parliament in June 1973).
The majority of the files were originally classified according to neighbourhood. This order has been maintained, with the neighbourhoods listed in alphabetical order following the general Victoria records. Files that were not originally given classification numbers have been listed after the classified files within each neighbourhood group

First, the actual nomination paper, listing the name, address, and occupation of the nominee, proposer, seconder and witness.

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

Series consists of files created by the City Solicitor from the first appointment to permanent staff of the City in 1910 to the contracting out of the work in 1956. Some files predate the appointment of a staff solicitor when the City's legal work was contracted out to various legal firms.
The files are arranged in their original order by subject in a numerical sequence from 1 to 1193 with some deletions as a result of weeding over the years. Sequencing reflects a chronological accumulation as matters came to the attention of the Solicitor. The series encompasses a complete range of all Solicitor activities and was probably the main record series for the Solicitor's office. Original access to the series was obtained through a set of three extant card indexes maintained by the Solicitor's office (CRS 120, Indexes to operational files).

Series consists of records created as a result of the City of Victoria's participation in the Capital Region Planning Board, which was constituted in 1951 under Provincial legislation and served as an advisory board for regional planning until its functions were taken over by the Capital Regional District in the late 1960s. The records include correspondence, memoranda, and reports pertaining to City planning, historical buildings, transportation, statistics, urban renewal, subdivisions and urban sprawl, street numbers and names, and parks.

Series consists of records created by the City Manager under a filing system introduced in 1971. They pertain to virtually all areas of City activity.
Files are arranged alphabetically by subject within an overall numeric classification scheme in which letters of the alphabet are assigned a 'hundred-level' block of numbers for each year. For example, subjects filed under 'B' are found in the 200-299 range, subjects filed under 'C' are found in the 300-399 range, and subjects filed under 'D' (such as City Departments) are found in the 400-499 range. Sub-categories are assigned decimal extensions of the main numbers, so that general Parks records are found at 400.9 (Parks Department) and Parks records pertaining to Beacon Hill Park in particular are found at 400.9.1.
For earlier Manager records, see CRS 22 and CRS 23
