Scope and content

Sub-series consists of dormant Orders in Council. The term "dormants" refers to memoranda correspondence, petitions and reports submitted to the Privy Council which did not result in the production of a minute or order in council. They are arranged according to the numbers assigned to them upon receipt in the Privy Council Office. It was also the practice in the early years to file reports on work performed during the year, oaths of allegiance administered, and various miscellaneous materials with the dormants, often without assigning them a registry number. With the exception of this miscellaneous material, the registers and indexes described in the indexes and registers sub-series (RG-A-1-d) are the finding aid to the dormants. After determining the submission number and date of receipt of the specific dormant, it is necessary to obtain a volume number through the use of a conversion list found with the finding aids to order the material. In recent years few dormant orders in council were retained, or registered; most were returned to departments for amendment and re-submission.
