Scope and content

Series consists of records relating to Orders in Council created and maintained by the Privy Council Office. Oversized cartographic material, architectural drawings and technical drawings were transferred to the National Map Collection. Smaller records are still physically appended to the Orders-in-Council and arranged according to the date of approval. The oversized maps and plans deal with railways (whether right-of-way plans, profiles or bridge plans); and other subjects such as: mining, water power development, Indian reserves, drill halls, etc. Two maps prepared for the 1887-88 Fisheries Conference in Washington show the coastline of Newfoundland where fishing privileges are accorded to the French under treaties of 1783, 1812, 1814 and 1815 and show where fishing privileges are accorded to the Americans under the treaty of 1818. Maps accompany textual documentation with Orders-in-Council 2401/1887 and 25801/[1887]. These Orders-in-Council (RG2, Series 3, Dormant, 1867-1959) were not approved. A map of Canada depicts lands in western Canada covered by Indian Treaty, appended to Order-in-Council 2749 of 6 December 1898. Two copies were prepared, one for the Dept. of Indian Affairs (RG10M, 88967, item 2) and the other was sent to the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. Nine plans of the Toronto Harbour Commission deal with property, part of Orders-In-Council, 244, 271 and 4622, approved on 12 Feb. 1929, 7 Feb. 1935 and 5 Sept. 1951 respectively; and 86 plans, part of Order-in-Council 2158, of 12 December 1906 are related to grain elevators of the Harbour Commissioners of Montreal.
