In turn, this series also documented particular themes and events that were of interest to Central Region.
- Scope and Content
- The subject files include such materials as newsletters, correspondence and publications, publicity materials, information on club events, budgets and financial information.
- Arrangement
- The files in this series were arranged alphabetically in chronological order. While some organizations and themes were assigned a file, others were grouped together under a "miscellaneous" heading for each letter

- 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.
- Scope and Content
- Series is organized chronologically first and alphabetically by name or subject second. Also included are correspondence files specifically related to Shangai refugees from 1949-1950.
- Notes
- Series formerly described and cited as RG290.
- Files list for Shanghai refugees have not been scanned as part of this finding aid.
