City Clerk's Office report files

Series consists of reports (published and unpublished), some publicity brochures, a few unusual items (e.g. handwritten notes by the designer of the City's crest), and a small amount of correspondence related to certain report files, all assembled for reference purposes in the Clerk's function as secretariat of City Council. Most "report files" are related to Council business of the time, therefore including reports from departments, outside organizations, and American sources. Originally arranged according to an arbitrary numbering system (this numbering is noted, e.g. "Report file no. x"); now arranged by startyear and therein by title of the file or title of the report (which reveals a number of duplicates).

City Clerk's Office housekeeping files

Series contains files on administrative matters relating to the City Clerk's Department, i.e. records on staffing and premises, on the Archives and Records Division, and on the Voters' List Division. The series is divided into two subseries:

  • File system to 1978. (closed subseries)
  • Housekeeping subject files (open)
    The first subseries "File system to 1978" was generated by City Clerk D. H. Little, who served from 1973-1978 (with the inclusion of some of his files from the earlier period when he was Deputy City Clerk), then added to in very small volume by the succeeding City Clerk, Robert Henry until 1980.
    The subseries "Housekeeping subject files" was the administrative or housekeeping section of a large file classification system set up in 1975, and since most of the administrative matters documented are routine, only selected items have been retained. Files on "electoral matters" were largely kept. Arranged by subseries, and therein alphabetically by file title.

Vancouver Court of Revision supporting documents

Series consists of record keeping and working files of appeal court sessions which authorized changes to the voters' list (1956-1963, 1976), the real property tax roll (1950- 1956, 1971-1975), the business tax roll (1970-1984), and local improvement projects (1967-1986). The early sequence of voters' list files contains amended and signed voters' lists (including some lists of aliens not eligible to vote), while the early set of property tax files are the official assessment appeal records annotated by the Assessment Commissioner. Other records are working files containing lists of property tax and business tax appeals (with some decisions indicated) and associated correspondence. Local improvement files contain lists of projects, correspondence, and associated Council minutes. Real property and local improvement files contain a small number of photographs submitted as part of appeals packages. Subseries are interfiled. Arranged chronologically by Court date.

City Council Special Committee minutes

Series consists of minutes of special committees, boards, commissions, task forces, and of other "non-standing" committees of Council (although there is flexibility about what differentiates special and standing committees or what defines a special committee during some periods). The earliest minutes consist of nine bound volumes of "Special Committees" (1890-1891, 1930-1948) and "Traffic Commission" (1929-1948), prepared in Council minutes style, and numbered volumes 66-74, a continuation in the numbering of series 33 (Standing committee minutes). 1892-1929 and 1960-1974 special committee minutes appear not to have been kept as a separate recordkeeping unit, but were frequently quoted verbatim within Council minutes (series 31). 1930-1948 minutes in the bound volumes and 1949-1959 minutes are arranged by year, often with minutes of various committees interfiled (with the exception of the Traffic Commission which is a separate set). Files dating from 1975 are also arranged by year and therein alphabetically by committee name.

Medical Health Officer's subject files

Series consists of correspondence, memoranda, minutes of meetings, reports, published articles, scrapbooks and photographs which document the wide variety of interests of the office of the Medical Health Officer. In most cases it is not evident from the physical arrangement of the materials what kind of record-keeping system was employed. Some files have classification numbers, but the numbered files are interfiled with unnumbered ones, and the files with classification numbers are not in any discernible sequence. Occasionally there are, however, blocks of records in chronological arrangement. Within the files, the order of documents is almost exclusively chronological in order of receipt.

City Clerk's Office subject files - including Council supporting documents

Series consists of administrative and operational files on any matters dealt with by the Office of the City Clerk over time, in its and the individual Clerks' roles as Council secretariat, elections office(r), and information office(r). The scope of City and outside bodies represented, the topics covered, and the types of records contained (primarily correspondence, but also including minutes, contracts, grant applications, etc.) is immense. There is a problem of organization with Office of the City Clerk's files in that, during some periods, files contained here were organized separately (therefore are separate series), while during other periods, those same files were integrated here (e.g. Traffic Commission, Council committees, etc.) Database searching alleviates the problem. Arranged in annual sets (date ranges filed by latest year represented) and therein alphabetically by file title (please note that there is tremendous inconsistency in file title formulation during some periods, see arrangement note below).
