Scope and content

Series consists of atlases of fire insurance plans of approximately 1194 cities and villages all across Canada: 113 in British Columbia, 119 in Alberta, 199 in Saskatchewan, 84 in Manitoba, 319 in Ontario, 241 in Quebec, 43 in New Brunswick, 61 in Nova Scotia, 12 in Prince Edward Island and 3 in Newfoundland. These plans show layouts of construction materials. Most of the cities and villages are provided with an index map ("Key Plan"). For the larger cities, street indexes are added. These atlases are an excellent source of information on morphologic changes, urban land use, architecture and urban demography, toponymy, etc. The atlases are catalogued according to the Library of Contress G schedule by province and alphabetically by city and village. For convenience, a microfiche may group up to two sheets for the same city or village.
