The Survey of Documents catalogues the holdings of the Claims and Historical Research Centre. The items in the Survey vary from comprehensive working files and historical papers to copies of judicial cases, statutes and newsclippings. In addition, there are numerous published and non-published articles as well as theses.
Documents are filed under broad subject categories or "sections", according to theme. Each section has been assigned a letter of the alphabet, and each document within a given section is also assigned a number. A document within the Administration section or section A, for example, might be called A-52. Documents can be accessed in the Claims and Historical Research Centre by using this designated call number.
Most of the documents listed in the Claims and Historical Research Centre's collection have been annotated. An index using title, author and keywords has also been added to this edition, and can be found at the back of the survey. The number next to an entry indicates the page of the catalogue where the description and call number of a document can be found.
Acknowledgements are extended to the staff of the Centre who reviewed the final draft of this survey. A special appreciation goes to Raymond Lonsdale and Joann McCann-Magill who completed the annotations. / Le Répertoire des Documents inclu les documents qui sont disponsibles au Centre de la recherche historique et des revendications. Les articles du répertoire sont de natures variées, allant des dossiers de travail détaillés, et des exposés historiques aux rapports de causes portées en justice, aux lois et aux coupures de journaux. Il contient, en outre, de nombreuses thèses et articles publiés ou inédits.
Les documents sont divisés en vingt- six sections ou catégories selon leurs sujets. Chaque section est identifiée par une lettre et chaque document porte cette lettre suivi d'un chiffre. Par exemple, un document à caractère administratif serait dans la section "A" et pourrait porter le numéro A-52. Ces numéros servent de codes d'accès aux documents, qui sont classés aux Centre de la recherche historique et des revendications.
La pluspart des documents du Répertoire des Documents sont annotés pour aider le recherchiste. À la fin du catalogue, on retrouve pour la première fois un index des documents selon les titres, auteurs, et mots clefs. Chaque article du catalogue est suivi du numéro de la page où trouver la description et du code d'accès appropriés.
Nous tenons à remercier les employés du Centre qui ont révisé l'ébauche finale du répertoire. Nous désirons également remercier Raymond Lonsdale et Joann McCann-Magill qui ont annoté les documents.
