- Admin History/Bio
- During this period, Congress staff in Toronto maintained a central correspondence file arranged alphabetically by subject and by community within each year. The file rubrics tended to repeat themselves annually. Incoming and outgoing correspondence were integrated by subject. The purpose of this system was to enable staff members to be cognizant of developments in all departments. One had simply to peruse the central file to learn of activity in any particular area. The various standing committees also maintained their own correspondence files which overlap these years, as do the thematic files. The original arrangement was maintained in all of these record groups.
