Transfer Records

Conferences often created a large volume of varied records making it difficult to determine what should be transferred to the Regional Council Archives and what can be disposed of. The Regional Council Archives has created a list to help Conferences determine which records should be transferred to the Regional Councils Archivist.

Please contact your Regional Council Archivist to discuss further questions.

Sample of records for transfer

  • Official minutes of annual Conference meetings
  • Conference annual records of proceedings
  • Official minutes of Conference Executive meetings
  • Reports and other records of standing, sub- and ad hoc committees appointed by Conference and Conference Executive
