Portée et contenu

Sub-series consists of records maintained from the Department of Militia and Defence 1903 central registry system, and which was, in 1923, adopted and expanded by the newly created Department of National Defence. A major departmental reorganization in 1903 included the creation of a central registry and file classification system at Militia Headquarters which brought together the records created by the various branches of the department. A separate Confidential Section was created during the First World War to handle documents classified as secret or confidential, and thereafter numbers assigned to subject files emanating from this section were prefixed by either HQS or HQC. Originally, records of the Department of Naval Service (created in 1910) and of the Air Board (created in 1919) were included in the HQ system but were removed when separate registries were created for the Navy in 1938 (See RG 24 Series D-1-a) and for the RCAF in 1940 (See RG 24 Series E-1-a). The 1903 system continued in use for Army records until the outbreak of the Second World War. At that time, the file classification system was completely overhauled to accomodate the growth in the Canadian Army, with numbers being reassigned and others retired so as to creating more of a block structure. (See RG 24 Series C-1-b.) Records created and received at Headquarters which relating to the overall defence programme and the department, and not specifically the army, continued to be maintained in the 1903 system until its disbandment in 1946. The records in this series relate to the complete range of defence activities from the late 19th century until the end of the Second World War. For the personnel files created within this system see the sub-sub series Militia and Defence Personnel files. It should be noted that this sub-series includes many reels of microfilm containing files which were filmed by the Department of National Defence, presumably to save storage space. It is regrettable that the original files were destroyed by the department after filming because the quality of the microfilm reproduction is poor.(Reels C-4622, C-4857 to C-4859, C-4975 to 5035, C-5046 to C-5421, C-8267 to C-8438, C-11647 to C-11648)
