Our only defence\nagainst being manipulated Is\nknowledge... \"\n(John Meisel)\nThe year just past was one of\nmany challenges: adjusting our\nstructures and operations to a\nchanging, paradoxical context\nof new constraints and new initiatives; rationalizing our activities and preparing for the effects\nof the proclamation of the new\nNational Archives Act; developing the Archives' leadership\nwithin an increasingly unified\nand cooperative Canadian\narchival community; and preparing a long-term plan to\ncomputerize our operations.\nOf course, our essential functions changed little, although\nthe new Act does establish a\nclearer framework for them and\nbroadens them in keeping with\npresent needs. Those functions\nare: first, since the creation of\nthe Archives in 1872, to acquire\nand conserve both public (from\nthe federal government and,\nbefore Confederation, from\ncolonial governments) and private historical records of national significance and make\nthem accessible in conformity\nwith existing legislation; second, since 1945, at Treasury\nBoard's request, to provide\nfederal departments and agencies with advisory and operational services related to records management; and, third,\nto offer support to the Canadian\nand international archival communities. This threefold mission \u2014 more precisely defined\nin the new Act \u2014 is carried out\nby the National Archives in a\ncontext of extremely rapid\nchanges.\nArchives can be thought of as\nthe memory of a group or a nation, but for too many people,\nthe image that leaps to mind is\nthat of dormitories, or warehouses of dried-up, dusty\npapers. That image, however,\nignores reality: the National\nArchives houses laboratories\non the cutting edge of technology; federal departments and\nagencies recall more than\n1,600,000 files each year from\nour records centres; the Personnel Records Centre annually\nreceives about 100,000 requests for personal information;\nthe historical archives sector\nresponded to 95,770 requests\nfor information during the past\nyear and served 8,600 researchers who visited the Archives \u2014\nmore than 2,000,000 records\nwere examined and 1,200,000\nphotocopies were made; three-\nquarters of our clients are ordinary citizens looking for information on their ancestry or\nother aspects of their past, as\nwell as media representatives,\nlawyers, civil servants and investigators for various commissions of inquiry, all keenly interested in current problems\nwith roots in the past. As for the\none-quarter who are scholars,\nthey seek to keep the nation's\nmemory alive through their\nsystematic examination of past\nrecords and by their writings.\nTherein lies the growing challenge for the National Archives\nof Canada: to abolish the clich\u00e9\nof dusty archives and to make\nthis heritage a current concern\nand asset in the daily life of\nCanadians. We must reach out\nto the Canadian people and try\nto instil in them a heightened\nsense of their historical heritage.\nArchives and the present should\nbe thought of as a continuum,\nas a tree with roots, a trunk, old\nbranches and new shoots, all\nnourished by the sap coming\nfrom the roots and all benefiting\nfrom the synthesis of the present. The National Archives preserves important records of the\npast and present so that Canadians may use them to understand themselves better, to learn\nfrom their experience and to\nglean a clearer definition of\ntheir identity and their ideals.\nThe Archives' work is concerned with our collective\nmemory. But this memory is intimately linked to the present,\nindeed, the future, of all Canadians and their descendants.\nElie Wiesel, recent winner of the\nNobel Peace Prize, put it very\nwell when he said: \"Memory is\nprobably the most important\nasset that the human being can\nhave... Without memory, we\nwouldn't be what we are. Without memory, there would be no\nfuture.\"\nThe National Archives carries\nout this mission in a complex\nand changing environment.\nThe first part of this report\nfocuses on this point. The second part describes some of the\nimportant events in 1986-1987\nin the National Archives' main\nareas of activity. The final part\ngives a brief overview of the difficulties encountered and progress made in the area of human resources and ends with a\ndescription of our disastrous\naccommodation situation.\nI\nMany events, most of them\npositive, occurred during the\npast fiscal year: adoption of a\nnew Act, internal reorganization, acquisition of additional\nfunds, continued staff reductions and progress in computerization. All of these elements\naffect the environment in which\nthe National Archives operates,\nboth as a cultural institution\nand as the government's central agency for records management.\n1 Dr. Jean-Pierre Wallot.

Our only defence\nagainst being manipulated is\nknowledge... \u00bb\n(John Meisel)\nPendant l'ann\u00e9e qui vient de\ns'\u00e9couler, nous avons relev\u00e9 un\ngrand nombre de d\u00e9fis : ajustement des structures et des\nop\u00e9rations \u00e0 un contexte\nmouvant et paradoxal de contraintes et d'initiatives nouvelles; rationalisation des\nactivit\u00e9s et pr\u00e9paration des\nlendemains de la proclamation\nde la nouvelle loi des Archives\nnationales du Canada; \u00e9volution du leadership des Archives\nau sein d'une communaut\u00e9\narchivistique canadienne de\nplus en plus solidaire et engag\u00e9e dans une vaste entreprise\nde concertation; pr\u00e9paration\nd'un plan \u00e0 long terme pour\ninformatiser les op\u00e9rations.\nCertes, nos fonctions essentielles n'ont gu\u00e8re chang\u00e9,\nencore que la nouvelle loi en\n\u00e9tablisse les fondements plus\nclairement et leur donne une\nextension conforme aux besoins actuels. Ces fonctions\nconsistent d'abord, depuis la\ncr\u00e9ation des Archives nationales en 1872, \u00e0 acqu\u00e9rir et\nconserver les archives historiques d'importance nationale,\nd'origine tant publique (c'est-\u00e0-\ndire du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral\net des gouvernements coloniaux d'avant la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration)\nque priv\u00e9e, et de les rendre\naccessibles en conformit\u00e9 avec\nles lois; ensuite, depuis 1945,\n\u00e0 la demande du Conseil du\nTr\u00e9sor, \u00e0 assurer des services\nconsultatifs et op\u00e9rationnels\nen mati\u00e8re de gestion des\ndocuments aux minist\u00e8res et\norganismes du gouvernement\nf\u00e9d\u00e9ral; enfin, \u00e0 offrir un appui\n\u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 archivistique\ncanadienne et internationale.\nCette triple mission \u2014 mieux\npr\u00e9cis\u00e9e dans la nouvelle loi \u2014\ns'exerce dans un contexte o\u00f9\nles transformations sont\nextr\u00eamement rapides.\nL'on con\u00e7oit volontiers que les\narchives constituent la m\u00e9moire d'un groupe ou d'une\nnation. Mais l'image qui surgit\nspontan\u00e9ment en trop d'esprits\nest celle de \u00ab dortoirs \u00bb, de\nd\u00e9p\u00f4ts de papiers racornis et\npoussi\u00e9reux. En fait, ce serait\noublier que les Archives nationales abritent des laboratoires\n\u00e0 la fine pointe de la technologie; que les minist\u00e8res et organismes du gouvernement\nf\u00e9d\u00e9ral rappellent chaque\nann\u00e9e plus de 1 600 000 dossiers de leurs centres de documents; que le Centre des\ndocuments du personnel re\u00e7oit\nannuellement environ 100 000\ndemandes d'information; que\nles Ressources historiques ont\nr\u00e9pondu \u00e0 95 770 demandes\nd'information au cours de\nl'ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e, en plus de\nrecevoir 8 600 chercheurs, ce\nqui a occasionn\u00e9 l'examen de\nplus de 2 000 000 de documents\net la production de 1 200 000\nphotocopies; que 75 pour 100\ndes clients sont des citoyens\nordinaires \u00e0 la recherche de\nleur g\u00e9n\u00e9alogie ou d'informations sur leur pass\u00e9, des repr\u00e9sentants des m\u00e9dias, des\navocats, des bureaucrates, des\nenqu\u00eateurs pour diverses\ncommissions d'enqu\u00eate, etc.,\npassionn\u00e9s par des probl\u00e8mes\nactuels dont les racines plongent\ndans le pass\u00e9. Quant aux 25\npour 100 de \u00ab savants \u00bb, ils\npoursuivent l'objectif indispensable de faire vibrer la m\u00e9moire\nde la nation gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 leur examen syst\u00e9matique de la documentation pass\u00e9e et \u00e0 leurs\n\u00e9crits. C'est l\u00e0 d'ailleurs le d\u00e9fi\ncroissant des Archives natio-\n' nales : abolir le clich\u00e9 des\narchives poussi\u00e9reuses, faire\nde cet h\u00e9ritage une pr\u00e9occupation et un actif actuels dans la\nvie quotidienne des Canadiens.\nIl faut atteindre ces derniers et\ntenter de leur inculquer un\nsens rehauss\u00e9 de leur h\u00e9ritage\nhistorique.\nIl conviendrait donc de concevoir plut\u00f4t les archives et la\nvie pr\u00e9sente comme un continuum, comme un arbre avec\ndes racines, un tronc, des\nbranches anciennes et de nouvelles pousses, toutes ces\nr\u00e9alit\u00e9s \u00e9tant nourries par la\ns\u00e8ve provenant des racines\net int\u00e9grant les apports de la\nsynth\u00e8se du pr\u00e9sent. Si les\nArchives nationales pr\u00e9servent\nles documents importants du\npass\u00e9 et du pr\u00e9sent, c'est pour\nque leur utilisation par les\nCanadiens fasse que ceux-ci se\ncomprennent mieux, apprennent\nde leurs exp\u00e9riences pass\u00e9es\net puissent en extraire une\nd\u00e9finition plus claire de leur\nidentit\u00e9 et de leurs id\u00e9aux. Les\nArchives se pr\u00e9occupent de\nnotre m\u00e9moire collective. Mais\ncette m\u00e9moire est li\u00e9e intimement au pr\u00e9sent, voire \u00e0 l'avenir\nm\u00eame de tous les Canadiens et\nde leurs descendants. Comme\nl'exprimait si bien le r\u00e9cent\nr\u00e9cipiendaire du prix Nobel de\nla paix, Elie Wiesel, la m\u00e9moire\nest probablement le bien le\nplus pr\u00e9cieux de l'\u00eatre humain.\nSans elle, nous ne serions pas\nce que nous sommes, nous\nn'aurions pas d'avenir.\nCette mission des Archives\nnationales s'accomplit dans un\nenvironnement complexe et\nmouvant. C'est ce qu'\u00e9voque la\npremi\u00e8re partie de ce rapport.\nLa seconde partie aborde un\ncertain nombre de jalons\nmarquants en 1986-1987 dans\nchacune des fonctions des\nArchives nationales. Enfin, un\nbref survol des difficult\u00e9s et des\nprogr\u00e8s en mati\u00e8re de ressources humaines pr\u00e9c\u00e8de des\ndonn\u00e9es sur la situation\nd\u00e9sastreuse de nos locaux.\nI\nDe nombreux \u00e9v\u00e9nements,\npositifs pour la plupart, sont\nsurvenus au cours de la derni\u00e8re ann\u00e9e financi\u00e8re : adoption d'une nouvelle loi, r\u00e9organisation interne, obtention de\ncr\u00e9dits suppl\u00e9mentaires, poursuite des r\u00e9ductions de personnel, avancement des travaux\nen mati\u00e8re d'informatisation \u2014\nautant d'\u00e9l\u00e9ments qui affectent\nl'environnement dans lequel\ndoivent agir les Archives nationales en tant qu'institution\nculturelle et organisme central\n-du gouvernement en mati\u00e8re\nde gestion des documents.\nAdoption d'une nouvelle loi\nIl faut applaudir \u00e0 l'adoption\nde la loi des Archives nationales du Canada par le Parlement. La ratification du\nGouverneur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral a \u00e9t\u00e9\nobtenue et il ne manque plus\nque la proclamation de cette\npi\u00e8ce majeure de l\u00e9gislation\npour qu'elle entre en vigueur.\nCette loi de 1987 remplacera\ncelle de 1912 et confiera aux\nArchives nationales (autrefois\nles Archives publiques du\nCanada) un mandat conforme\n\u00e0 leurs pratiques depuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es et aux d\u00e9fis\nqui s'annoncent pour les prochaines d\u00e9cennies. Outre le\nchangement de nom de l'\u00e9tablissement et l'inclusion de\ntous les supports dans la d\u00e9finition du mot \u00abdocuments\u00bb,\nla loi obligera tous les minist\u00e8res et organismes gouvernementaux soumis aux dispositions des lois sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0\nl'information et sur la protection des renseignements personnels \u00e0 pratiquer une saine\ngestion des documents et \u00e0\nn'en d\u00e9truire aucun sans\nl'autorisation de l'Archiviste\nnational.

Jean-Pierre Wallot, Archiviste\nnational. Photo et droit d'auteur :\nYousuf Karsh. Tirage : Archives\nnationales du Canada. Report of the National Archivist\nAdoption of a New Act\nParliament is to be applauded\nfor adopting a new National\nArchives Act. This major\npiece of legislation, already\nratified by the Governor General, will come into effect as\nsoon as it is proclaimed. The\n1987 Act replaces its 1912\npredecessor and gives the\nNational Archives of Canada\n(formerly the Public Archives\nof Canada) a mandate consistent with both its practices\nover the last several years\nand the challenges of the\ncoming decades. In addition\nto changing the institution's\nname and including all media\nin the definition of the word\n\"record\", the Act requires\ngovernment departments and\nagencies covered by the Access to Information and Privacy Acts to practise proper\nrecords management and to\nrefrain from destroying any\nrecord without the National\nArchivist's consent. The Act\nwill also broaden the Archives'\nmandate, particularly with respect to support of the archival community. Such\nsupport is essential to the\ncreation of a Canadian archival system. The Act also\nrequires ministers to transfer\nministerial records of historical\nimportance to the Archives\nupon leaving office.\nInternal Reorganization\nAfter a preliminary, minor reorganization in 1985-1986, we\nconducted a full-scale study\nof our organization and functions in 1986-1987. This led\nto a major reorganization of\nthe various branches and divisions within the Archives to\nenable us to better carry out\nour mission, as defined by\nthe new Act. These changes\ncame only after many long\ndiscussions at all levels of\nthe organization, the submission of recommendations by\nthe audit and program evaluation committees and a\nnumber of consultants' studies. Bringing such a project\nto a successful conclusion,\nwith a minimum of upheaval,\nrequired the active cooperation of Archives staff, who\ndemonstrated their professionalism throughout. The\norganization's new, simplified\nstructure (see organization\nchart on p. 94) more clearly\nidentifies the responsibility\ncentres for our various programs and eliminates some\nprevious duplication of effort.\nAdditional Funds\nFollowing the federal government's commitment to provide\n$7 million a year for five years,\nthe National Archives set up\nsome new programs and made\nsignificant improvements to its\nbasic operations. The Government Records Branch carried\nout a number of studies and\nprojects in anticipation of the\nextension of records management services to almost seventy\ndepartments and agencies following the promulgation of the\nnew Archives Act. These studies and projects improved considerably our capacity to provide advice and training, and to\ncontrol the establishment of\nrecords retention and disposal\nschedules for a much greater\nnumber of federal institutions.\nThe additional funds also allowed us to improve the conservation program, to develop\nthe computerized archives sector, to provide concrete assistance to the Canadian archival\ncommunity, and to make Canadians more aware of their archival heritage, as this introduction explains.\nStaff Reduction\nIn June 1985, the Government\nof Canada announced a program to reduce the number of\npublic servants. The National\nArchives' total staff will thus be\nreduced by about 9 per cent\n(72 person-years) over the next\nfive years. These downsizing\nmeasures have also forced the\nNational Archives to redeploy\nforty other person-years in\norder to be able to promote its\ninstitutional priorities. Thanks\nto systematic co-operation\nbetween the Personnel Services\nBranch, the Workforce Adjustment Committee and the\nunions, departmental managers\nand employees, we have\nsuccessfully resolved 47 out of\n68 cases where employees\nwere declared surplus to\ndepartmental requirements.\nThe Workforce Adjustment\nCommittee met regularly and\nmade sure that everyone\ninvolved was kept informed.\nComputerization of the\nNational Archives\nComputerization is essential if\nthe National Archives is to meet\nits increased responsibilities to\nboth its \"upstream\" (departments, agencies, private sector)\nand \"downstream\" (researchers, general public) clients with\nthe reduced human resources\nat its disposal. Thus, during\n1986-1987, the National Archives studied and adopted a\nlong-term information plan\nwhich establishes our needs,\nas well as the links between this\ninformation, program administration and the provision of\nservices. It also determines the\nkind of computer technology\nrequired. The development of a\nlong-term plan has shown that\ncomputerization is a necessity,\nnot a luxury, if the National Archives hopes to fulfil its mandate and provide an adequate\nlevel of service to all Canadians.\nComputerizing our operations,\neven in the archival sector,\nrequires a certain number of\nconditions: training and cooperation on the part of staff,\ndefinition of common standards\nin the areas of description, access and services, and so on.\nWe are working closely with\nthe Canadian Bureau of Archivists and the Canadian Council\nof Archives on this.\nII\nSeveral significant developments occurred in 1986-1987 in\nthe Archives' three main areas\nof activity.\nManagement of Federal\nGovernment Records\nProper management of current\ngovernment records, regardless\nof the medium, will ensure a\nrelatively complete chronicle of\nthe activities of today's federal\ngovernment for future generations. This major role, given to\nthe National Archives under\nTreasury Board directives and,\nhenceforth, the new Archives\nAct, authorizes the Archives to\noffer advice on records management to the federal agencies\nlisted in the schedules to the\nAccess to Information and Privacy Acts, to approve their retention and disposal schedules\nand to store their semi-active\nrecords in centres specially\ndesigned for that purpose. This\nstorage, selection and disposal\nservice saves Canadian taxpayers almost $29 million and\nensures that the National Archives maintains a \"good\"\nmemory.\nThe National Archives will continue to look for ways to improve the services it offers to\nfederal institutions, including\nthe many additional agencies,\nso that it can locate information\nmore quickly and easily, and\nensure the preservation of records with lasting value, regardless of the medium. In conformity with these two objectives,\nthe National Archives and\nTreasury Board recently developed a joint action plan which\nspecifies the roles and responsibilities of each agency, as well\nas the goals on which the efforts of both must be concentrated during the planning period. Particular attention must\nbe paid to computer records,\nwhich are at present very difficult to conserve, owing to the\nfragility of the medium and the\nlack of firm management policies in various departments\nand agencies. 9 Rapport de l'Archiviste national\nR\u00e9organisation interne\nApr\u00e8s une premi\u00e8re r\u00e9organisation mineure en 1985-1986,\nnous avons proc\u00e9d\u00e9 en 1986-\n1987 \u00e0 une \u00e9tude de l'ensemble de notre organisation et\nde nos fonctions. Celle-ci\na abouti \u00e0 une r\u00e9organisation\nmajeure des directions g\u00e9n\u00e9rales et des divisions de\nfa\u00e7on \u00e0 mieux accomplir\nnotre mission, telle que d\u00e9finie par la nouvelle loi. Ces\nchangements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9s de longues et nombreuses consultations, \u00e0 tous\nles \u00e9chelons, de recommandations des comit\u00e9s de v\u00e9rification et d'\u00e9valuation des\nprogrammes ainsi que d'\u00e9tudes de consultants. Mener\nun tel projet \u00e0 bon terme\nsans trop de remous a impliqu\u00e9 la collaboration active du\npersonnel et a mis en \u00e9vidence son professionnalisme.\nLa nouvelle structure simplifie\nl'organisation (voir l'organigramme en p. 96), identifie\nplus clairement les centres\nde responsabilit\u00e9 pour les\ndivers programmes et \u00e9limine\ncertains d\u00e9doublements\nd'efforts.\nCr\u00e9dits suppl\u00e9mentaires\nSuite au versement par le Gouvernement du Canada de\n7 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e\npendant cinq ans, les Archives\nnationales ont mis sur pied de\nnouveaux programmes et ont\nam\u00e9lior\u00e9 sensiblement leurs\nop\u00e9rations fondamentales.\nAinsi, la Direction des documents gouvernementaux a\nproc\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 nombre d'\u00e9tudes et\nmis sur pied des projets en\npr\u00e9vision de l'extension des\nservices de gestion des documents \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de 70 minist\u00e8res\net organismes suite \u00e0 la promulgation de la nouvelle loi des\narchives. Ces \u00e9tudes et ces\nprojets ont accru notablement\nla capacit\u00e9 des Archives nationales de fournir des conseils et\ndes services de formation,\nainsi que de contr\u00f4ler l'\u00e9tablissement des calendriers de conservation et d'\u00e9limination des\ndocuments pour un nombre\nbeaucoup plus grand d'institutions f\u00e9d\u00e9rales. De m\u00eame, ces\nsommes additionnelles ont\npermis d'am\u00e9liorer le programme de conservation, de\nd\u00e9velopper le secteur des\narchives informatis\u00e9es, d'aider\nconcr\u00e8tement la communaut\u00e9\narchivistique canadienne et de\nsensibiliser les Canadiens \u00e0\nleur h\u00e9ritage archivistique,\ncomme l'explique ce rapport.\nR\u00e9duction du personnel\nEn juin 1985, le Gouvernement\ndu Canada annon\u00e7ait un\nprogramme de r\u00e9duction du\nnombre de fonctionnaires.\nDans ce contexte, la r\u00e9duction\nde l'effectif total des Archives\nnationales atteindra pr\u00e8s\nde 9 pour 100 (72 ann\u00e9es-\npersonnes au cours des cinq\nprochaines ann\u00e9es). Ces mesures de restriction ont aussi\nforc\u00e9 les Archives nationales\n\u00e0 proc\u00e9der \u00e0 une r\u00e9affectation\nde 40 autres ann\u00e9es-personnes\nde fa\u00e7on \u00e0 promouvoir leurs\npriorit\u00e9s institutionnelles.\nGr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une concertation syst\u00e9matique de la Direction du\npersonnel, du Comit\u00e9 de r\u00e9am\u00e9nagement des effectifs, des\nsyndicats, des gestionnaires\net des employ\u00e9s, nous avons\npu trouver une solution pour 47\ndes 68 cas d'employ\u00e9s d\u00e9clar\u00e9s\nexc\u00e9dentaires.

Conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 ce\ndouble objectif, les Archives\nnationales et le Conseil du\nTr\u00e9sor ont r\u00e9cemment \u00e9labor\u00e9\nun plan d'action conjoint qui\npr\u00e9cise les r\u00f4les et les responsabilit\u00e9s de chaque organisme,\nde m\u00eame que les buts sur\nlesquels doivent se concentrer\nles efforts communs au cours\nde la p\u00e9riode de planification.\nUne attention particuli\u00e8re doit\n\u00eatre accord\u00e9e aux documents\nsur support informatique, dont\nla conservation est tr\u00e8s incertaine en ce moment (fragilit\u00e9\ndu support, absence de politiques fermes de gestion dans\nles minist\u00e8res et organismes).\nAcquisitions\nNotre mission la plus connue\ndemeure l'acquisition, la conservation, l'organisation et la\nmise \u00e0 la disposition des chercheurs de divers fonds publics\net priv\u00e9s d'importance nationale.

Certains de ces\ndocuments ont une valeur\nparticuli\u00e8re, car ce sont des\ntr\u00e9sors nationaux. 10 Report of the National Archivist\nAcquisitions\nOur best known role is still acquiring, conserving and organizing various public and private collections of national\nsignificance and making them\navailable to researchers. We\nhave continued to play this role\neven though our inabil+ty to obtain suitable accommodation\nhas hurt us considerably over\nthe last few months. Each year,\nthe National Archives' holdings\nincrease with the transfer of\nlarge numbers of federal government records \u2014 of which\nonly 5 per cent or so are\npreserved \u2014 and the selective\nacquisition of private records\nof national significance. Some\nof these are particularly valuable\nbecause they are considered\nnational treasures.\nThis year, thanks to the support\nof the Minister of Communications and Treasury Board, the\nNational Archives has acquired\nseveral significant holdings, including the coveted collection\nof internationally acclaimed\nCanadian photographer Yousuf\nKarsh. This unique and irreplaceable collection enriches\nour cultural heritage immeasurably. It contains thousands of\ndistinctive and penetrating portraits of great statesmen, sovereigns, artists, scientists and\nothers who have worked in almost every field of human\nendeavour and left their mark\non our era. The collection contains over a quarter of a million\nnegatives, 12,000 colour slides,\nand some 50,000 original prints.\nDuring the coming year, we\nhope to be able to introduce a\nlarge number of Canadians to\nthe contents of this precious\ncollection.\nAssistance to Canadian\nArchives\nThe supplementary allocation\nof $7 million by the Canadian\ngovernment in 1986-1987 allowed the National Archives to\ninitiate various programs to\nsupport the Canadian archival\ncommunity and develop a\nCanadian archival system. The\nfinancing of the Canadian\nCouncil of Archives (formed of\nrepresentatives of all regions)\nand its committees helped the\nCouncil to establish its priorities, set up new programs and\nexchange essential information, so that, today, archivists\nthroughout Canada are organizing themselves and working\ntogether to establish a Canadian archival system. The Canadian Council of Archives\n(CCA) gave us very useful advice on the measures required\nto develop a Canadian archival\nsystem. We established an Archival Community Relations\nDivision, within the new Public\nPrograms Branch, to be responsible for the support programs, to maintain a permanent\nsecretariat for the CCA and to\nprovide advisory services and\ntechnical assistance to the\nCanadian archival community.\nTwo recent actions taken by\nthe National Archives to assist\nthe archival community should\nbe mentioned. The first was the\nArchives' provision of funds in\n1986-1987 so that a needs assessment and planning study\ncould be carried out; 1,368 archival repositories across Canada are providing information\non their operations as part of\nthis study, which will establish\nthe needs of these various institutions and should be finished during the coming year.\nThe study will be very useful to\nthe Canadian Council of Archives when it examines its priorities and initiatives.\nThe second was the establishment of the CCA's arrangement\nand description backlog reduction cost-shared cooperative\nprogram. This program is aimed\nat various Canadian repositories that keep documents on all\ntypes of media and is intended\nto reduce the number of holdings which are neither summarily described nor classified,\nin order to give Canadians real\naccess to their archival heritage.\nOn the advice of the CCA, the\nNational Archives allocated\n$1,200,000 to this cost-shared\nprogram, thereby assisting 143\ninstitutions throughout Canada,\nincluding the territories. The\nprogram, which was extremely\nwell received by the archival\ncommunity and is a first essential step in establishing a Canadian archival system, will continue in 1987-1988.\nThe National Archives also has\nan international assistance program for Third World countries\n(courses, expertise, training,\nand so on) which it offers with\nthe help of the Canadian International Development Agency\nand UNESCO. It will hold eight\nInternational Council of Archives committee meetings or\nseminars between now and the\nend of 1991, not to mention the\nICA Congress in 1992, which is\nbeing held in Canada for the\nfirst time.\nIncreasing Access\nThanks to modern technology,\nthe National Archives is entering a new era in which users\nwill not have to visit the Archives\nin person to obtain information\non its resources or even reproductions of those resources.\nOver the next five years, we intend to develop the means to\nmake various information on\nour services and collections, as\nwell as copies of certain holdings, available to Canadians\nacross the country.\nThis is certainly not an entirely\nnew initiative. Since the beginning of the 1970s, the National\nArchives has distributed microfilm series of its archival holdings to provincial and territorial\narchives. In a country of immense distances where computerized access is still in the\ndevelopmental stage, this is an\neffective means of making a\nlarger number of archival holdings accessible to researchers\nand the Canadian public. During the past fiscal year, 1,082\nreels of microfilm were distributed to the provinces and territories, more than twice as\nmany as the year before. This\nwas the result of a concerted\neffort and a doubled program\nbudget. 11 Rapport de \/Archiviste national\nCette ann\u00e9e, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'appui de\nla ministre des Communications\net du Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor, les\nArchives nationales ont acquis\nplusieurs fonds importants,\ndont la collection si convoit\u00e9e\ndu photographe canadien de\nrenomm\u00e9e internationale,\nYousuf Karsh.

Le\nfinancement du Conseil canadien des archives (form\u00e9 de\nrepr\u00e9sentants de toutes les\nr\u00e9gions du pays) et de ses\nfpmit\u00e9s a facilit\u00e9 l'\u00e9tablissement des priorit\u00e9s du Conseil,\nla mise en place de nouveaux\nprogrammes et l'\u00e9change d'informations essentielles. De\nsorte qu'aujourd'hui, \u00e0 travers\nle Canada, les archivistes se\nmobilisent et travaillent de\nconcert \u00e0 l'\u00e9tablissement d'un\nsyst\u00e8me canadien des archives.\nLe Conseil canadien des\narchives a donn\u00e9 d'utiles conseils quant aux mesures n\u00e9cessaires au d\u00e9veloppement d'un\nsyst\u00e8me canadien des archives.\nDans le cadre de la nouvelle\nDirection des programmes\npublics, nous avons mis sur\npied une Division des relations\navec la communaut\u00e9 archivistique, qui est charg\u00e9e de g\u00e9rer\nles programmes de soutien,\nde tenir un secr\u00e9tariat permanent pour le Conseil et de\nfournir des services de consultation et une aide technique\n\u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 archivistique\ncanadienne.\nIl convient de mentionner deux\nactivit\u00e9s r\u00e9centes des Archives\nnationales en mati\u00e8re d'aide \u00e0\nla communaut\u00e9 archivistique.\nD'abord, les Archives nationales\nont fourni des fonds en 1986-\n1987 pour une \u00e9tude d'\u00e9valuation des besoins et de planification. Dans le cadre de cette\n\u00e9tude, 1 368 d\u00e9p\u00f4ts d'archives\nde tout le Canada fournissent\ndes donn\u00e9es sur leur fonctionnement. Cette \u00e9tude d\u00e9gagera\nles besoins de ces diverses\ninstitutions et devrait \u00eatre termin\u00e9e au cours de l'ann\u00e9e qui\nvient. Elle sera tr\u00e8s utile au\nConseil pour l'examen de ses\npriorit\u00e9s et de ses initiatives.\nLa seconde activit\u00e9 d u Conseil\n\u2014 le programme coop\u00e9ratif \u00e0\nfrais partag\u00e9s de classement et\nde description visante r\u00e9duire\nl'accumulation de documents\n\u2014 s'adresse \u00e0 divers d\u00e9p\u00f4ts\ncanadiens qui conservent des\ndocuments sous toutes sortes\nde supports.

Sur les avis du Conseil,\nles Archives nationales ont\nconsacr\u00e9 1 200 000 $ \u00e0 ce programme. Elles ont ainsi aid\u00e9\n143 institutions \u00e0 travers tout\nle Canada, y compris dans les\nterritoires. Extr\u00eamement bien\nre\u00e7u par la communaut\u00e9 archivistique, ce programme, qui\nconstitue un premier pas\nessentiel \u00e0 la mise en place\nd'un syst\u00e8me canadien des\narchives, se poursuivra en\n1987-1988.\nLes Archives nationales ont\naussi un programme d'aide\ninternationale aux pays du\ntiers-monde (cours, expertise,\nstage, etc.) qu'elles offrent avec\nl'appui de l'Agence canadienne\nde d\u00e9veloppement international\net de l'UNESCO. Elles tiendront\nhuit s\u00e9minaires ou r\u00e9unions de\ncomit\u00e9s du Conseil international des archives d'ici la fin\nde 1991, sans compter le grand\nCongr\u00e8s international des\narchives en 1992, qui aura lieu\npour la premi\u00e8re fois au\nCanada.\n\u00c9largissement de l'acc\u00e8s\nGr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la technologie moderne,\nles Archives nationales approchent d'une nouvelle \u00e8re : au\nlieu de voir tous les usagers\nvenir \u00e0 elles, elles les rejoindront avec des informations\nsur leurs ressources et m\u00eame\ndes reproductions de ces ressources. En effet, au cours des\ncinq prochaines ann\u00e9es, nous\nentendons d\u00e9velopper les\nmoyens de rendre accessibles\naux Canadiens, \u00e0 travers le\npays, diverses informations\nconcernant nos services et nos\ncollections ainsi que des\ncopies de certains de nos fonds\neux-m\u00eames. 12 Report of the National Archivist\nModern technology seems to\nbe offering new methods, and\nthis is an area that particularly\ninterested us in 1986-1987. The\nNational Archives commissioned a study intended first\nof all to establish current and\nfuture nation-wide needs for\ncomputerized access to information on the Archives^ holdings, as well as those of other\nCanadian repositories, and\nsecond, to evaluate the extent\nto which existing and planned\ngovernment and commercial\ninformation networks are capable of disseminating archival\nrecords. The concl usions of\nthat study will help us to perfect\nremote access for those Canadians who need such services.\nFour thousand researchers\nwho used the National Archives\nand more than two hundred\ninstitutions are participating in\nthis study. We have visited and\ninterviewed archivists, librarians\nand museum directors in\nvarious regions of Canada in\norder to determine how information on archival resources\ncan be effectively exchanged\nso as to serve the individual\nneeds of specific communities\nof current and potential National\nArchives users.\nBesides the decentralization of\naccess and the dissemination\nprogram, the National Archives\nof Canada is seriously considering the gradual development\nof a network of regional centres\nacross Canada, starting with\nlocations farthest from the capital and perhaps using the National Archives' semi-active\nrecords centres (of which there\nare six outside Ottawa: Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg,\nToronto, Montreal and Halifax).\nThe program would ensure\nbetter regional management of\nrecords in federal departments\nand agencies. It would also afford researchers in these regions more direct access to\nhistorical holdings of greater\nspecific interest to them, as wel I\nas to all our microfilms. This\nextension of our services, which\nmight also use other channels\n(for example, provincial or university archives), would result\nin major cost reductions for the\nvast majority of our outside\nusers and would stimulate interest in the National Archives\nthroughout Canada.\nHowever, these good intentions\nwill come to nothing unless we\ncan develop a precise plan to\nset up these centres and obtain\nnew resources (relatively modest ones, particularly in terms\nof personnel) over the next six\nor seven years.\nIll\nSince human resources are the\nprimary tool needed to fulfil\nour various complementary\nmandates, we are particularly\nconcerned with their ability,\ncommitment to the National\nArchives and its users, and\ntheir development. We have\nthus tried to innovate and forge\nahead despite reductions in\nstaff. It is clear that with the\nincrease in our responsibilities\nfollowing the adoption of the\nnew Act, the expansion of our\nholdings and collections, the\neffort required to make them\nmore accessible and the scattering of our warehouses and\noffices \u2014 with the resultant\nloss in time and money \u2014 our\nstaff has had to increase its\nproductivity considerably and\nhas met the challenge with\nprofessionalism, competence,\ndevotion and imagination.\nHowever, sooner or later, the\nsize of the staff will have to be\nbrought into line with our mandate and needs with respect to\nboth records management and\nservices to the research community and Canadian public.\nSome of the progress that has\nbeen made, particularly in the\narea of affirmative action,\nshould be emphasized. In November 1986, just before the\nreorganization of several of our\nservices, there was only one\nwoman at the senior management level (out of 18), and none\non the Senior Management\nCommittee (composed of the\ndirectors general). During the\ncoming year, we hope to have\nbetween three and five women\nat that level; there is already\none woman on the Senior Management Committee. We have\nalso directed our efforts toward\nthe groups from which upper\nmanagement is drawn (the representation of women in these\ngroups went from 22.9 per cent\nto 27.5 per cent between 1984\nand 1987) and toward management training.\nWe must however continue our\nefforts at systematic redress\nand try to achieve, beyond the\nobjectives approved by the '\ncentral agencies \u2014 which we\nhave already attained \u2014 equitable representation not only\nfor women, but also for other\ngroups that are underrepre-\nsented within the National\nArchives or within certain\nactivities: native people, the\nhandicapped and other visible\nminorities,Francophones will\nalso have to be more fairly represented among the archivists.\nIV\nLast year's Annual Report\nnoted, and not for the first time,\nthe urgent need to relocate\nmany of the national historical\ntreasures preserved by the National Archives to more suitable\nand centralized accommodations (our archival collections\nare pressently housed in nine\nbuildings, none of which meet I\nthe standards for long-term\nrecords conservation). In one\nsense, because of their content,\nthese collections do not have a\nmonetary value \u2014 how can one\nput a price on memory? But if\nthey were sold, they would\nfetch more than a billion dollars.\nIf the pages were all laid end to\nend, they would reach from the J\nearth to the moon eight times\nover and would cover a distance\nof more than 5,760,000 kilometres. 13 Rapport de I Archiviste national\nCertes, il ne s'agit pas l\u00e0 d'une\ninitiative enti\u00e8rement nouvelle.\nDepuis le d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es\n1970, les Archives nationales\ndistribuent des s\u00e9ries de microfilms de leurs fonds d'archives\naux archives des provinces et\ndes territoires.

En\neffet, les Archives nationales\nont command\u00e9 une \u00e9tude\nvisant premi\u00e8rement \u00e0 \u00e9tablir\nlis besoins actuels et futurs,\n\u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle nationale, \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard\nde l'acc\u00e8s automatis\u00e9 \u00e0 des\nrenseignements sur leurs fonds\net sur ceux d'autres d\u00e9p\u00f4ts\nd'archives canadiens; en\nsecond lieu, l'\u00e9tude devait\n\u00e9valuer dans quelle mesure\nles r\u00e9seaux d'information commerciaux et gouvernementaux\nexistants et pr\u00e9vus pourraient\ndiffuser les documents d'archives. Les conclusions de\ncette \u00e9tude nous aideront \u00e0\nmettre au point un meilleur\nacc\u00e8s \u00e0 distance pour la partie\nde la population canadienne\nqui a besoin de tels services.\nQuatre mille chercheurs venus\naux Archives nationales et plus\nde 200 institutions participent \u00e0\ncette \u00e9tude. Ainsi, nous avons\nvisit\u00e9 et interview\u00e9 des archivistes, des biblioth\u00e9caires et\ndes directeurs de mus\u00e9e dans\ndiverses r\u00e9gions du Canada\npour comprendre comment\nl'information sur les ressources\narch i vistiq ues peut \u00eatre efficacement \u00e9chang\u00e9es, de fa\u00e7on\n\u00e0 servir les besoins particuliers\nde communaut\u00e9s sp\u00e9cifiques\nd'utilisateurs actuels ou potentiels des Archives nationales.\nAu-del\u00e0 de la d\u00e9centralisation\nde l'acc\u00e8s et du programme de\ndiffusion, les Archives nationales songent s\u00e9rieusement \u00e0\nd\u00e9velopper graduellement un\nr\u00e9seau de centres r\u00e9gionaux\n\u00e0 travers le Canada, en commen\u00e7ant par les endroits les\nplus \u00e9loign\u00e9s de la capitale et\nen utilisant possiblement\nleurs centres de documents\nsemi-actifs (au nombre de six\n\u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur d'Ottawa : Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg,\nToronto, Montr\u00e9al, Halifax). Ce\nprogramme permettrait d'assurer en r\u00e9gion une meilleure\ngestion des documents dans\nles minist\u00e8res et organismes du\ngouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral.

Cette extension de nos\nservices, qui pourrait aussi\nemprunter d'autres voies (par\nexemple, des archives provinciales ou universitaires), entra\u00eenerait une diminution tr\u00e8s\nimportante des co\u00fbte pour le\nplus grand nombre de nos utilisateurs ext\u00e9rieurs et stimulerait l'int\u00e9r\u00eat pour les archives\nnationales dans toutes les\nr\u00e9gions du Canada.\nToutefois, ces bonnes intentions ne pourront se concr\u00e9tiser que si nous pouvons\nd\u00e9velopper un plan pr\u00e9cis\nd'implantation de ces centres\net obtenir des ressources\nnouvelles, relativement modestes, particuli\u00e8rement en\npersonnel, au cours des six\nou sept prochaines ann\u00e9es.\nIll\nLes ressources humaines\nconstituent la premi\u00e8re ressource n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 l'accomplissement de nos divers\nmandats. C'est pourquoi leur\nengagement \u00e0 l'endroit des\nArchives nationales et de leurs\nutilisateurs et leur perfectionnement nous pr\u00e9occupent tout\nsp\u00e9cialement. Nous avons\ndonc tent\u00e9 d'innover et d'aller\nde l'avant malgr\u00e9 la diminution\nde nos effectifs. Il est clair\nqu'avec l'accroissement de nos\nresponsabilit\u00e9s suite \u00e0 l'adoption\nde la nouvelle loi, l'augmentation de nos fonds et collections\net les efforts requis pour les\nrendre plus accessibles, ainsi\nque la dispersion de nos entrep\u00f4ts et de nos bureaux qui\nentra\u00eene des pertes de temps et\nd'argent, notre personnel a d\u00fb\nhausser sensiblement sa productivit\u00e9. Il a relev\u00e9 le d\u00e9fi avec\nprofessionnalisme, comp\u00e9tence,\nd\u00e9vouement et imagination.\nToutefois, t\u00f4t ou tard, il faudra\najuster les effectifs en fonction\ndu mandat et des besoins, tant\ndu c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la gestion des\ndocuments que du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de nos\nservices \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 de\nchercheurs et \u00e0 l'ensemble des\nCanadiens.\nIl convient de souligner certains\nprogr\u00e8s, notamment-en mati\u00e8re d'action positive. En\nnovembre 1986, juste avant\nune r\u00e9organisation de plusieurs de nos services, le\ngroupe des hauts gestionnaires ne comportait qu'une\nseule femme sur 18, le\nComit\u00e9 de la haute direction\n(form\u00e9 des directeurs g\u00e9n\u00e9raux), aucune. Au cours de la\nprochaine ann\u00e9e, nous esp\u00e9rons compter de trois \u00e0 cinq\nfemmes dans la cat\u00e9gorie des\ncadres sup\u00e9rieurs, dont une\nsi\u00e8ge d\u00e9j\u00e0 au Comit\u00e9 del\u00e0\nhaute direction.

Several\nvery important collections were\ndirectly endangered. We are\njust waiting for a major disaster\nto happen sometime soon \u2014\nalthough we are certainly\nhoping to avoid it.\nThe Minister of Communications, the Honourable Flora\nMacDonald, has strongly supported our representations on\nthis subject. Furthermore, the\ncondition of the storage space\nfor our current collections is\nonly one aspect of our accommodation problems: the National Archives has not acquired\nany major new collections,\npublic or private, since the end\nof the fiscal year 1986-1987\nbecause of a lack of space in\nwhich to store them. Four of\nthe seven regional semi-active\nrecords centres are full and\none other will be within two\nyears' time. It is thus becoming\nimpossible for the National\nArchives to fulfil its mandate in\nterms of either government\nrecords management (which\nsaves taxpayers money and\nensures that records of historical\nimportance are protected), or\nthe acquisition, conservation\nand provision of access to\npublic and private historical\nrecords of national significance.\nThere is a real risk that departments and agencies will have\nto either rent their own storage\nspace, which may be inadequate\nand expensive, or destroy large\nnumbers of records regardless\nof their historical importance.\nInitiatives involving the National\nArchives, the Department of\nPublic Works and Treasury\nBoard should allow us to resolve\nthe problem of records centres.\nAs for the problem of accommodation for historical archives (and, incidentally, for\nthe National Library), the National Archives has had various\nstudies carried out and has\npresented the government with\na range of long-term options\n(85,000 m2 required), the\ncosts of which vary according\nto the number of buildings and\ntheir location. In the meantime,\nmore suitable, although no\ndoubt imperfect, accommodation must be found for the most\nendangered of our collections\n(8,300 m2) and for new collections until 1989 (5,000 m2);\ndiscussions are under way and\nwe can only hope that they will\nproduce an acceptable solution\nin the near future.\nConclusion\nGiven the resources at its disposal and the changes in its\nenvironment, the National Archives of Canada has carried\nout its threefold mandate and\nhas fulfilled its responsibilities\nin a commendable fashion.\nDuring the past year, it has met\nmany challenges and made\nsignificant progress on several\nfronts, although major problems\nremain. More than ever, we are\naware of the importance of our\nmission to the Canadian public\nand are thus trying to make\nCanadians more aware of their\narchival heritage. At the same\ntime, we must provide the maximum in service to the various\nfederal departments and agencies. Finally, we must take a\nleading, but more shared, role\nwithin the Canadian archival\ncommunity. As Peter C. Newman said: \"The function of\ndemocratic leadership... is to\nrespect the past, convince the\npresent, and enlarge the future\".\nThat is precisely our ambition\nin the area of archives, for the\nfundamental principle of our\nprofession and the one which\nmust guide all archivists is to\ndemonstrate a profound respect\nfor and total commitment to the\npast, inasmuch as it constitutes\nthe memory of the present and\nthe future, and thus is the basis\nof our understanding of Canadian society, our choices and,\nultimately, our culture.\n31 March 1987\nJean-Pierre Wallot\nNational Archivist 15 Rapport de l'Archiviste national\nOr, le probl\u00e8me le plus crucial\ndes Archives, ce sont les conditions inacceptables dans lesquelles sont log\u00e9s tous ces\ntr\u00e9sors nationaux : entrep\u00f4ts\nsans contr\u00f4les de temp\u00e9rature\nni d'humidit\u00e9, sans protection\ncontre le feu, les inondations,\nle vol, le vandalisme, voire les\ninsectes. Au cours de l'ann\u00e9e\n\u00e9coul\u00e9e, les Archives nationales\n(et la Biblioth\u00e8que nationale\nqui partage les m\u00eames locaux)\nont eu \u00e0 d\u00e9plorer plus de 90\nd\u00e9sastres divers dont l'un a\naffect\u00e9 3 000 volumes et a\nn\u00e9cessit\u00e9 la cong\u00e9lation de\n1 000 d'entre eux et leur restauration un par un. Plusieurs\nfonds de tr\u00e8s grande importance\nont \u00e9t\u00e9 directement menac\u00e9s.\nComment ne pas pr\u00e9dire \u2014\nsans l'esp\u00e9rer \u2014 un d\u00e9sastre\nmajeur dans un avenir qui ne\npeut \u00eatre tr\u00e8s \u00e9loign\u00e9?\nLa ministre des Communications, M\"16 Flora MacDonald, a\nappuy\u00e9 fortement nos repr\u00e9sentations \u00e0 ce propos. D'ailleurs, l'\u00e9tat des locaux pour\nnos fonds actuels ne constitue\nqu'une facette du probl\u00e8me :\nles Archives nationales n'acqui\u00e8rent plus de fonds importants, publics ou priv\u00e9s, depuis\nla fin de l'ann\u00e9e financi\u00e8re\n1986-1987, faute d'espace o\u00f9\nles loger. Quatre des sept\ncentres r\u00e9gionaux sont remplis\n\u00e0 pleine capacit\u00e9 et un autre le\nsera d'ici deux ans. Il devient\ndonc impossible aux Archives\nnationales d'accomplir leur\nmandat tant en gestion des\ndocuments gouvernementaux\n(laquelle \u00e9pargne de l'argent\naux contribuables et assure la\nprotection des documents\nd'importance historique), qu'en\nmati\u00e8re d'acquisition, de conservation et d'acc\u00e8s en ce qui a\ntrait aux documents historiques\npublics et priv\u00e9s d'importance\nnationale. Le risque est r\u00e9el\nque les minist\u00e8res et les organismes soient forc\u00e9s de louer\neux-m\u00eames, \u00e0 grands frais, des\nlocaux inad\u00e9quats ou fassent\nd\u00e9truire des masses importantes\nde documents sans \u00e9gard \u00e0\nleur valeur historique.\nDes initiatives impliquant les\nArchives nationales, le minist\u00e8re des Travaux publics et le\nConseil du Tr\u00e9sor devraient\nnous permettre de r\u00e9soudre le\nprobl\u00e8me des centres de documents. Quant \u00e0 celui des locaux\npour les archives historiques\n(et, faut-il ajouter, pour la\nBiblioth\u00e8que nationale), les\nArchives nationales ont fait\neffectuer diverses \u00e9tudes et ont\nsoumis au gouvernement un\n\u00e9ventail d'options pour le long\nterme (besoin de 85 000 m2),\ndont les co\u00fbts varient en fonction du nombre de b\u00e2timents et\nde leur localisation. Entretemps, il faut trouver d'autres\nlocaux, sans doute imparfaits,\nmais plus acceptables, pour\nloger la partie de nos fonds la\nplus menac\u00e9e (8 300 m2) et\npour accueillir les acquisitions\njusqu'en 1989 (5000 m2) : des\nconsultations sont en cours et\nil faut esp\u00e9rer qu'elles d\u00e9boucheront dans les meilleurs d\u00e9lais sur une solution acceptable.\nConclusion\nCompte tenu des ressources \u00e0\nleur disposition et des transformations de l'environnement,\nles Archives nationales du\nCanada se sont acquitt\u00e9es de\nleur triple mandat et ont assum\u00e9\nleurs responsabilit\u00e9s. Au cours\nde l'ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e, elles ont\nrelev\u00e9 de nombreux d\u00e9fis, ont\nr\u00e9alis\u00e9 des progr\u00e8s significatifs\nsur plusieurs fronts, m\u00eame si\ndes probl\u00e8mes majeurs subsistent. Plus que jamais, nous\nsommes conscients de l'importance de notre mission par\nrapport au public canadien.\nC'est pourquoi nous cherchons\n\u00e0 le sensibiliser \u00e0 son patrimoine archivistique. Parall\u00e8lement, il nous faut maximiser\nnos services aux diff\u00e9rents\nminist\u00e8res et organismes du\ngouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. Enfin,\nnous devons assumer un leadership certain, mais davantage\npartag\u00e9, au sein de la collectivit\u00e9 archivistique canadienne.\nComme le disait Peter C.\nNewman, un leadership d\u00e9mocratique doit respecter le pass\u00e9,\nconvaincre le pr\u00e9sent et s'ouvrir\nau futur. C'est bien l\u00e0 notre\nambition dans le domaine des\narchives, cardans l'\u00e2me m\u00eame\nde l'archiviste s impose le principe fondamental de notre profession, \u00e0 savoir un profond\nrespect du pass\u00e9 et un engagement total vis-\u00e0-vis de celui-ci\n\u00e9tant donn\u00e9 qu'il constitue la\nm\u00e9moire du pr\u00e9sent et celle de\nl'avenir, donc le fondement\ndevant servir \u00e0 notre compr\u00e9hension de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 sociale\ncanadienne, \u00e0 nos choix et,\nultimement, \u00e0 notre culture.\n31 mars 1987\nJean-Pierre Wallot,\nArchiviste national. Preserving Our National Heritage\n\u25a0 WET ; Pr\u00e9servation du patrimoine national 18 Preserving Our National Heritage\nThe National Archives of\nCanada acts as a guardian of\nthe cultural heritage and a bulwark of the Canadian identity\nby assuring the permanent retention of archival materials \u2014\ntextual records, maps, plans,\nphotographs, documentary art,\ncomputer tapes, television, film\nand sound recordings \u2014 of\nlong-term national significance.\nA few highlights of this year's\nacquisitions are given below.\nAcquiring Collections\nIn 1986-1987, the National Archives acquired 3,200 metres of\ngovernment and private textual\nrecords for permanent retention. The National Archives\nalso acquired 610,925 other\nrecord units (photographic\nrecords, cartographic records,\npublished items, etc.) The substantial decreases from last\nyear's totals (30 per cent and 50\nper cent respectively) reflect\nmany complex factors, including\nlimited storage space and\ndecreasing budgets.\n2 Dr. Jean-Pierre Wallot, Yousuf Karsh,\nLilly Koltun, director, Documentary\nArt and Photography Division, following the signing of the agreement to\npurchase the Karsh Collection.\n3 Les ouvriers, Canadian Steel and\nFoundry.

Two series of his works\nstand out \u2014 \"Les ouvriers\"\n(1969-1971) consists of nearly\n10,000 black and white negatives\nconcentrating on the work\nenvironment and forcefully\nrevealing the human dimension\nof the \"anonymous worker\".\nThe second series, \"Les prisons\"\n(1974-1975), is composed of\n5,000 black and white negatives\ntaken in eight penal institutions\nin Ontario and Quebec and is\none of the largest photographic\ndocumentaries on Canada's\nprison environment.\nMore than 16,000 items were\nreceived from the National Design Council. The photographs,\nrelating to Canadian manufacturers, are largely of a promotional nature. Much can be\nlearned of Canadian marketing,\ndesign and advertising from\nthis collection.\nAn early photograph album\n(c. 1863-1875) of an unknown\nMontreal family was acquired\nin the Timothy B. Dallett Collection. It is interesting to note\nthat two major Montreal photographers, William Notman\nand Alexander Henderson,\ncontributed to this common\nalbum apparently made to\norder for their client.

The Division also acquired\nmaps of the world, Western\nHemisphere, and North America, as well as several hydro-\ngraphic charts prepared by the\nBritish Admiralty in the early\n1800s. The two most outstanding items were a large coloured\nmanuscript map of part of\nLower Canada, c. 1807, by\nJoseph Bouchette and an apparently unique copy, dated\n1821, of John Purdy'swall map\nof eastern Canada titled A Map\nof Cabotia.\nTo assist with the restoration of\nthe HMCS Sackville to its 1944\ncondition for display in Halifax\nharbour, the Canadian Naval\nCorvette Trust requested the\ncorvette class plans from the\nArchitectural Unit, Maritime\nCommand, Department of National Defence. This request\nled to discussions with the National Archives of Canada and\nthe transfer of an estimated\n1,000 corvette plans to the Division, with more expected \/\nshortly. The visit of archives\nstaff to the Maritime Command\nrevealed their extensive holdings (about 1,000,000) of plans\nand drawings, and demonstrated\nthe weaknesses in identifying\narchival records in regional\noperational units of the federal\ngovernment.\n21 Detail of John Purdy's 1821 edition\nof a map of \"Cabotia\", the name he\ngave to Canada to recognize John\nCabot's role in exploring the eastern\ncoast of Canada for the King of England.

These relate to federal\nbuildings, wharves, bridges\nand harbour improvements\nwhich no longer exist or which\nare no longer administered by\nthat department. These records\nwere received from Public\nWorks headquarters, from the\nregional offices in Montreal and\nVancouver, and from the Federal Records Centre in Halifax.\nA collection of more than 7,000\ndrawings from the Architecture\nand Design Branch (1955-1973)\nof Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation illustrates the\nrapidly evolving post-World\nWar II development of housing\ndesign in Canada, when this\nBranch was an acknowledged\nleader in the field.\nResearchers in the area of industrial architecture will find\nthe Prack and Dobell Collection\nmost useful. Donated by Wright\nDobell Architects Ltd., the Collection consists of 12,045 drawings, with accompanying photographs and textual records.\nThe records date from 1911\nand include many industrial\nbuildings and complexes, as\nwell as hospitals, schools and\nresidences, in southwestern\nOntario.\n\u00a5 29 Pr\u00e9servation du patrimoine national\nDivision des archives\ncartographiques et\narchitecturales\nLa division s'est enrichie d'un\ncertain nombre de cartes anciennes montrant le Canada,\nnotamment des cartes du\nmonde, de l'h\u00e9misph\u00e8re occidental et de l'Am\u00e9rique du\nNord, ainsi que plusieurs cartes\nhydrographiques pr\u00e9par\u00e9es\npar l'Amiraut\u00e9 britannique au\nd\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1800.

It is\nextremely rare to acquire so\ncomplete a set. With its listing\nof the names and titles of the\nsenior clergy, military officers,\nmajor officials and councillors\nof the king, it will allow identification of individuals named in\nthe official correspondence of\ncolonial authorities.\nMore than thirty printed collections and portions of collections\nacquired by the National Archives, were transferred to the\nLibrary in the course of the year.\nIncluded are the books of the\nHonourable Donald Fleming as\nwell as two interesting manuals,\nThe Cabinet-Maker's Assistant\nand The Cabinet-Maker's\nSketch books (18--) by Thomas Campbell, a furniture\nmaker in Ottawa from 1866.\nLondon and Paris Offices\nBoth Offices continued their\nacquisition of original and copied material overseas. Acquisitions of the London Office included six letter books relating\nto the career of Sir James\nKempt, Lieutenant-Governor of\nNova Scotia (1820-1828) and\nGovernor-in-Chief of British\nNorth America (1828-1830) and\na small collection of correspondence between W.L.M. King\nand English actress Irene\nRooke; a collection of fifty-five\nphotographs of the mine works\nand town at Copper Cliff,\nOntario, (c. 1910) and the\npersonal photograph album of\na British sailor on a tour of\nCanada aboard the H MS\nConstance, 1868.\nMuch of the work of the Paris\nOffice involves painstaking research to locate often rare and\nscattered records relating to\nearly Canada. The Atlantic\ncoast of Canada was frequented\nby thousands of European\nsailors who have not left in\nCanada any written trace of\ntheir presence. Many French\narchival repositories, notably\nthat of the Seine-Maritime at\nRouen yield records concerning\nthis important presence. The\nFrench population that in the\nseventeenth and eighteenth\ncenturies installed itself in Canada can be traced through the\nNotarial Archives at La Rochelle\nin France. The provisioning of\nCanada by ships especially\nchartered for this purpose is\ncarefully recorded in the Ar\nchives de l'Amiraut\u00e9 at Bordeaux. This careful research is\nsupplemented by the filming of\nlarge series of documents in\nParis, taken from the eighteenth\ncentury records of the Minist\u00e8re des Colonies. In total, thirty-\neight reels of microfilm were\nacquired this year. An agreement was arrived at with the\nMinist\u00e8re de la Marine which\nwill allow filming in certain\nrepositories where this was not\npreviously possible.\nThe Office also acquired papers\nand photographs of Jacques\nPlante, the hockey star, from\nhis widow in Switzerland and\ntwo rare and precious funeral\norations of the Duchess of\nAiguillon, founder of the H\u00f4tel-\nDieu of Quebec City in 1639.\nPersonnel Records Centre\nThe Personnel Records Centre\nobtained 1,804 metres of records which included individual\npersonnel files, ancillary records and collective medical\nrecords. Several new clients\nwere added, the largest being\nthe Canadian Broadcasting\nCorporation.

A number of\nrecommendations were made\nby the auditors and accepted\nby management which should\nimprove current acquisition\npractices and procedures.\nPreliminary work was undertaken on the preparation of a\ndepartment-wide acquisition\npolicy which will be in place by\nthe fall of 1987. The development of the acquisition policy\nwill coincide with a departmental evaluation of the acquisition\nfunction that will be initiated in\nApril 1987.\nThe Manuscript Division has\nbegun a systematic review of\nits acquisition program in order\nto more precisely define its\nlong-term collecting mandate\nand strategy, consistent with\ndepartmental policy and with\nan emphasis on interinstitu-\ntional cooperation. Through a\nprototype project involving its\nlabour acquisition program,\nguidelines are being developed\nwhich will be used to undertake\na review of all divisional acquisition programs. The Division\nhas also established an Acquisition Review Committee which\nhas functioned successfully\nover the past year. All new acquisition proposals must be\napproved by this Committee\nwhich consists of the Director\nand four section chiefs who\nserve on a rotational basis.\nThe Library of the National Archives has made major progress\nin its shift from maintaining a\nlarge general historical research\ncollection to the preservation\nand servicing of the national\narchival heritage. It maintains\npublished sources considered\nas integral parts of collections\nacquired by the National Archives.\nThe Government Archives Division is entering the second\nyear of a project defining sampling guidelines and methods.\nWith a large and growing backlog of case files for departments\nlike Health and Welfare, the\nadoption of appropriate archival sampling techniques is a\npressing concern. To improve\nscheduling and selection processes, emphasis has been\nplaced on having departments\nincorporate both textual and\nmachine-readable records into\none comprehensive schedule.\nIn the Documentary Art and\nPhotography Division, a survey\nof historical advertising, promotional and commercial :\nphotography begun over one\nyear ago continues and will\nconstitute an invaluable guide\nfor future acquisitions.\n25 Publications relating to the study of\nArchival Science housed in the Na- .\ntional Archives Library.

Along\nwith its six regional records\ncentres, the Archives must\nattempt to coordinate its\nactivities in twenty different\nbuildings. A recent study\nindicates that none of the facilities provide adequate storage\nspace or protection for the\nholdings. The holdings also\nface threats from increasing\nrates of deterioration, theft and\nvandalism. National Archives\nstorage facilities have suffered\nninety leaks and floods in the\ncourse of 1986, one of which\nwas extremely serious and\nthreatened both important\nrecords of government departments as well as the papers of\nministers. The National Archivist has asserted that, under\npresent conditions, it is only a\nmatter of time before the institution suffers a major catastrophe involving the loss of an\nimportant part of our national\npatrimony. \"The storage facilities which we use\", he has said,\n\"do not serve and protect our\nholdings \u2014 they threaten the\/n\".\nDue to the dispersion of\nholdings, 60 per cent of the\nemployees of the National\nArchives in the National Capital\nRegion work outside its main\nbuilding. This dispersion\ncauses major problems of\ncoordination and efficiency. It\nis calculated that nine person\nyears could be saved if the\nholdings were concentrated in\none location. The constant\ntransportation of documents\nbetween buildings leads to\ndamage not only from handling\nbut from variation in temperature and humidity. The\nconservation and preservation\nof archival and government\nrecord holdings are also\nimpeded by a severe shortage\nand overcrowding of laboratory\nand collection processing\nspace, technical service areas\nas well as public and office\nspace.\nMost troubling is the lack of\nspace to store further acquisitions. In January, the Archives\ndeclared a moratorium on the\ntransfer of government records\nslated for permanent retention\nfrom the Montreal, Toronto and\nOttawa records centres and\nfrom departments because\nthere was no space to accommodate these records. At the\nsame time, the Montreal,\nToronto, Ottawa and Edmonton records centres have had to\nadvise clients that additional\nrecords can be accepted only if\ndisposals create additional\nspace. The Winnipeg Records\nCentre has been in a similar\ncondition for two years. As a\nresult, federal government\ninstitutions which cannot consign their semi-active and\ninactive documents to the\nArchives are being forced to\nstore their documents themselves, an uneconomic procedure which again encourages\nthe keeping of documents\nunder unsuitable conditions.\nIndeed, since the end of the\nfiscal year, the National Archives has found it necessary\nto declare a moratorium on the\nacquisition of all major collections, public or private.\nIn order to determine how best\na new facility can be built or an\nexisting facility can be renovated\nto proyide the National Archives' specialized environmental requirements, a Building\nEnvironmental Standards\nStudy was recently completed\nby the Building Performance\nUnit of Public Works Canada.\nThe knowledge acquired from\nthis study will be invaluable as\nit marks the first time building\nspecialists and archival staff\nhave worked together in a preplanning stage to define and\nunderstand what is required to\nmeet archival standards and\nwhat is feasible in today's\ntechnology.\nTreasury Board approved the\npartial requirement for\n5,000 metres of interim 'archival\/\nlibrary special purpose space'\nin May 1986 to meet the National Archives' storage requirements to 1988-89. Public Works\nCanada was asked to secure\nthis space immediately, however, no such space was available on the Public Works\nCanada Inventory in the National Capital Region to satisfy\nthe requirement. The National\nArchives continues to wait for\nPublic Works Canada to meet\nits recognized needs.\n26 Coping with a serious water leak in a\nNational Archives\/National Library\nsatellite building.

Si l'on tient compte de\nleurs six centres r\u00e9gionaux de\ndocuments, les Archives doivent\nessayer de coordonner leurs\nactivit\u00e9s dans 20 immeubles\ndiff\u00e9rents. Une \u00e9tude r\u00e9cente a\nr\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 qu'aucune des installations n'assure une protection\nsuffisante aux fonds ni ne fournit\nun espace d'entreposage\nr\u00e9pondant aux besoins. Entrent\n\u00e9galement en ligne de compte\nles menaces que constituent le\ntaux croissant de d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration\net l'augmentation du nombre de\nvols et d'actes de vandalisme.\nPendant l'ann\u00e9e 1986, on a\nrelev\u00e9 dans les installations des\njiltfchrves 90 cas de fuites et\nd'inondation, dont un extr\u00eamement grave qui a compromis\nla s\u00e9curit\u00e9 d'importants documents de minist\u00e8res et de\ndocuments personnels de\nministres. L'Archiviste national\nsoutient donc que, dans les\ncirconstances actuelles, il\ns'\u00e9coulera peu de temps avant\nqu'une catastrophe n'entra\u00eene\nla perte d'une partie importante\nde notre patrimoine national.\nIpLes installations que nous\nutilisons, a-t-il fait observer, ne\nprot\u00e8gent pas nos fonds; au\ncontraire, ils en compromettent\nl'existence. \u00bb\nComme les fonds d'archives\nsont r\u00e9partis en plusieurs\nendroits, 60 pour 100 des\nemploy\u00e9s des Archives en\nposte dans la R\u00e9gion de la\ncapitale nationale travaillent\ndans des locaux autres que\nceux de l'immeuble principal.\nD'o\u00f9 de graves probl\u00e8mes de\ncoordination et d'efficacit\u00e9.\nSelon les estimations, il nous\nserait possible d'\u00e9conomiser\nneuf ann\u00e9es-personnes si l'on\nconcentrait les fonds au m\u00eame\nendroit. Par ailleurs, le transport\nconstant de documents entre\nles immeubles se traduit par\ndes dommages caus\u00e9s \u00e0 la fois\npar les nombreuses manipulations et par les \u00e9carts de temp\u00e9rature (humidit\u00e9). De plus,\nl'insuffisance et l'encombrement aussi bien des laboratoires\net des aires de traitement des\nfonds que des locaux techniques, des salles publiques et\ndes bureaux entravent les\ntravaux de conservation et de\npr\u00e9servation des archives et\ndes documents gouvernementaux.\nCe qui devient le plus pr\u00e9occupant, c'est le manque de\nlocaux o\u00f9 loger les nouvelles\nacquisitions. En janvier, les\nArchives ont impos\u00e9 un moratoire sur le transfert des\ndocuments gouvernementaux\nen provenance des minist\u00e8res\net des centres de Montr\u00e9al,\nToronto et Ottawa pour le motif\nqu'elles ne disposent plus\nd'espace o\u00f9 les conserver en\npermanence. \u00c0 la m\u00eame \u00e9poque,\nles trois centres susmentionn\u00e9s,\nde m\u00eame que celui d'Edmon-\nton, ont d\u00fb informer leurs\nclients qu'ils ne pourraient plus\naccepter d'autres documents \u00e0\nmoins que les cas d'\u00e9limination\nne cr\u00e9ent de l'espace additionnel. Le centre de Winnipeg\nse trouve dans une situation\nanalogue depuis deux ans. Les\n\u00e9tablissements f\u00e9d\u00e9raux ne\npeuvent donc confier leurs\ndocuments inactifs et semi-\nactifs aux Archives et sont\noblig\u00e9s de les entreposer eux-\nm\u00eames, ce qui se r\u00e9v\u00e8le peu\n\u00e9conomique et explique le fait\nque des documents sont conserv\u00e9s dans de mauvaises\nconditions. En fait, depuis la fin\nde l'ann\u00e9e financi\u00e8re, les\nArchives ont impos\u00e9 un moratoire sur l'acquisition de tout\nfonds d'importance, public\ncomme priv\u00e9.\nAfin de d\u00e9terminer quelle serait\nla meilleure fa\u00e7on de construire\nune installation nouvelle ou de\nr\u00e9am\u00e9nager une installation\nexistante pour r\u00e9pondre aux\nbesoins particuliers des\nArchives, le Module d'analyse\ndu rendement des immeubles\nde Travaux publics Canada a\nmen\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment une \u00e9tude\nsur les normes applicables aux\nconditions ambiantes des\nimmeubles.

It has been given\nthe task of developing a comprehensive program of conservation for the institution.\nThe sheer volume of its holdings\ncreate problems for the National Archives' conservation\nprogram. Given the size of its\nholdings as opposed to its limited staff and budget for conservation, only a small proportion of its collections, in the\nmain those of the stature of national treasures, can undergo\ndirect conservation treatment.\n28 Drycleaning an illuminated parchment.\n29 Spotting and retouching a photograph.\n30 Transferring information on motion\npicture film to video tape to protect\nthe original film and to provide a\nworking copy.\n31 Inserting a magnetic tape into a protective enclosure prior to placing it\non a shelf in an environmentally\ncontrolled Bally Data Shield.\n32 Using a View Camera to produce a\n4\" * 5\" photographic copy negative.\n33 Inpainting a portrait.\nDespite variations, no sustained\nincrease or decrease in conservation treatments has occurred\nin the past five years. This year,\n23,500 manuscript sheets were\nsent for various kinds of conservation treatment, including\ncleaning and restoration. Two\nthousand eight hundred maps\nand posters were treated as\nwell as 370 watercolours, prints\nand drawings, 38 oil paintings\nand 117 medals, ivorys and\nseals.\nA number of standard conservation treatments were performed on 10,020 still photographic records. A total of\n21,500 film, television and\nsound records was processed,\nwhile almost 3,000 magnetic\ncomputer tapes were rewound\nand cleaned. Total sheets of\npaper deacidified for this year\nexclude those done for the National Library which had been\nincluded in past statistics.\nMuch conservation work, particularly on documentary art,\nhas been related to the institution's exhibition loans for the\nyear. Conservation on the Sir\nJohn A. Macdonald Papers was\ncompleted. This collection of\nover 100,000 sheets has had at\nleast one person working full\ntime on them since 1972. About\n6,500 glass plates and sheet\nfilm photographic negatives in\nthe Andrew Merrilees Collection, whichdeals extensively ,\nwith technology, are being\ncleaned and duplicated for\nconservation purposes. Several\ndetailed studies of environmental conditions in display\nand storage areas have been\nundertaken in the past year.\nExtensive use has been made\nof the freezer facility to dry out\nconsiderable quantities of\nbooks and records which have\nbeen damanged by leaks in the\nmain building and elsewhere.\nSuch use of the freezer facility\nhas disrupted mass deacidifi-\ncation operations which also\nuse the freezer. 37 Preservation du patrimoine national\nConservation des fonds\nLa cr\u00e9ation, cette ann\u00e9e, d'une\nDirection de la conservation\npour assumer la responsabilit\u00e9\nde la conservation et de la restauration aux Archives nationales marque une \u00e9tape importante.

Cette ann\u00e9e,\n23 500 feuilles manuscrites ont\nfait l'objet de divers types de\ntraitement, notamment le nettoyage et la restauration. Deux\nmille huit cents cartes et affiches\nont aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 trait\u00e9es, de m\u00eame\nque 370 aquarelles, estampes\net dessins, 38 tableaux \u00e0 l'huile\net 117 m\u00e9dailles, ivoires et\nsceaux.\nUn certain nombre de traitements traditionnels ont \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 appliqu\u00e9s \u00e0 10 020\ndocuments photographiques.\nUn total de 21 500 films et enregistrements sonores et t\u00e9l\u00e9visuels ont \u00e9t\u00e9 trait\u00e9s, tandis que\n3 000 bandes magn\u00e9tiques pour\nordinateur ont \u00e9t\u00e9 nettoy\u00e9es\net rebobin\u00e9es.

The switch this year\nfrom in-house to external microfilming facilities has led to a\nnumber of adjustments and\nthus a significant slowing of\nfilming. Only 54 metres of\ntextual material was filmed this\nyear as compared to 186.5 in\n1985-1986.\nThe most significant and impressive piece of conservation\nequipment installed this year\nwas a new 105 mm microfilm\ncamera in the Cartographic\nand Architectural Archives Division. Capable of producing\nhigh resolution black and white\nand colour microfiche, the\ncamera represents state-of-the-\nart technology. Most of its\nfunctions are computer-controlled. Its lens is one of only\ntwo in North America and required six and a half months\nto be ground. Because it will\nrequire much less handling of\nmaterial, the camera is expected\nto increase production by 50\npercent.\nCold storage conditions for\nmaster colour film and colour\nphotographs was improved by\nthe installation of a new Bally\nData Shield. Much experimentation has occurred with equipment designed to transfer\nmachine-readable information\nstored on magnetic tape to the\nmore stable storage medium of\noptical disc. It is hoped to have\na new system in place by early\n1988.\nDeterioration over time is not\nthe only danger faced by archival holdings. The Archives continued to work on contingency\nplanning for major and minor\ndisasters and upon improvements in security. The Archives\nand the National Library have\ninitiated a Disaster Preparedness Committee to coordinate\nthe actions of the two departments in the eventuality of a\ndisaster. A preliminary survey\nof the security management\npractices in operation in the\nNational Archives was carried\nout. The implementation of\nits recommendations and of\nthose in a new Treasury Board\nsecurity policy will initiate a\nnew level of security for the\nArchives.\nMuch can be achieved in the\narea of conservation by simple\nprecautions and education.\nThe National Archives Library\nlast year began to require that\nall staff and researchers wear\ngloves while handling rare\nbooks. A video film showing a\ndeteriorated manuscript being\ntreated was produced as an\nexperiment to explore the possibilities for producing similar\nvideos about conservation\nwhich could be used for training\nand educational purposes. Research was carried out on the\nuse of the demanding medium\nof continuous tone microfilm\nfor the conservation of some\nphotographic collections. Research on the preservation of\nminiatures and painted photographs was also pursued.\n34 Microfilm camera.\nTABLE II \u2014 Conservation\/\nTABLEAU II \u2014 Restauration\n1981-1982\n1982-1983\n1983-1984\n1984-1985\n1985-1986\n1986-1987\nMagnetic Tapes Rewound\/\nBandes magn\u00e9tiques rebobin\u00e9es\n5 267\n1456\n939\n1 715\n904\n2 949\nFilm, Television and Sound Records Processed\/\nDocuments cin\u00e9matographiques, t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9s et\nenregistr\u00e9s trait\u00e9s\n30 325\n38 751\n41 519\n23 825\n21574\nCartographie Records Microfilmed\/\nDocuments cartographiques microfilm\u00e9s\n7 489\n9 557\n33 961\n14 242\n25 550\n30 349\nMetres of Government Textual Records Microfilmed\/\nTextes officiels microfilm\u00e9s (m\u00e8tres)\n95\n92\n142\n110\n120\n30.8\nMetres of Private Textual Records Microfilmed\/\nTextes du secteur priv\u00e9 microfilm\u00e9s (m\u00e8tres)\n40\n40\n44.5\n57\n66.5\n23.21\nOil Paintings\/\nHuiles\nExaminations\/Examens\nTreatments\/Traitements\n30\n46\n34\n42\n35\n12\n155\n43\n25\n20\n47\n38\nWatercolours, Prints and Drawings\/\nAquarelles, gravures et dessins\nExaminations\/Examens\nTreatments\/Traitements\n427\n427\n257\n257\n1436\n479\n1027\n937\n462\n465\n544\n370 39 Pr\u00e9servation du patrimoine national\nLes Archives nationales privil\u00e9gient depuis longtemps le\nmicrofilm comme principal\noutil de conservation des documents textuels et cartographiques.

This represents\nonly a portion of the existing\nbacklog. The Government Archives Division, for example,\nexperiences continuing problems in bringing its massive\ntextual holdings under even an\nelementary level of control. It\nsaw the percentage of its textual holdings under preliminary\ncontrol \u2014 that is, selected for\npermanent retention \u2014 fall from\n54 per cent in 1985 to 52 per\ncent in 1986. From 1973 to 1983,\nthe total records under such\ncontrol averaged 85 per cent.\nThe importance of developing\nand implementing proper descriptive standards has long\nbeen recognized by the National Archives. Two positions\nare being established to undertake work in this area. The officers will be working closely\nwith the members of the Planning Committee on Descriptive\nStandards of the Bureau of\nCanadian Archivists, as well as\nindividuals in various national\nand international associations,\ninstitutions and organizations.\nIn the Documentary Art and\nPhotography Division, description standards for a complete\nautomated inventory of the art\ncollection have been finalized.\nDescription standards have\nalso been established for the\nentry of all newly acquired\nworks of art into a computerized\ndata bank and an automated\nshelf list was created for all\nworks of art in the main building. A complete automated\ninventory of all medals and of\nall photographed posters is\nnearing completion.\nSeveral finding aids have been\nprepared concurrent with the\norganization of photographic\ncollections. An automated finding aid to the William Topley\nCollection of 100,000 glass\nnegatives is in preparation. An\ninventory and report on the\nwork of the Canadian photographer Alexander Henderson\n(1831-1913) has been completed. The main body of Henderson's negatives has been\ndestroyed; what exists in the\nNational Archives is dispersed\nthroughout several collections.\nThe inventory will facilitate\nacquisitions and research on\nthe work of this important professional from about 1866 onwards, documenting landscapes, architecture and railroad building.\nUtilizing a large team of contract, term, summer and regular\nstaff, an impressive number of\nprojects designed to make collections more accessible were\ncompleted in the Government\nArchives Division this year. Because of numerous access requests and the interest sparked\nby the Desch\u00eanes Royal Commission on Nazi war criminals,\nthree immigration agencies' inventories were completely rewritten, special thematic guides\nwere prepared as well as a\nsource analysis. Listing and\nediting for a computerized index of the voluminous Records\nof Entry (passenger lists and\nborder crossings) for the period\n1865 to 1918 was also completed. A detailed finding aid\nwhich constitutes a guide to\nthe records of the units of the\nCanadian Expeditionary Force\n(1914-1918) was completed\nafter several years of painstaking work. Another multi-year\nproject completed \u2014 an index\nfor 54.1 metres of frequently\nconsulted Railway Transport\nfiles of the Canadian Transport\nCommission \u2014 enables researchers to make full use of a\nvery important series of records\ndocumenting the expansion\nand reorganization of railways\nin Canada and the establishment and alteration of their\npermanent facilities.\nA major thrust throughout 1986-\n1987 was the processing of the\nbacklog of machine-readable\ndata files. It is not until an archivist has verified the data and\nprepared the documentation\nmanual that a researcher is\nable to use a machine-readable\ndata file. The vulnerability of\nthe medium requires that processing be completed as soon\nas possible. Experimental work\nin the use ef a new international\nstandard Apr the transfer of\ndata from one computer system\nto another was undertaken.\nPreliminary results indicated\nthat such a standard could be\nof tremendous assistance in\nthe acquisition and processing\nof government data. Subsequent control through the\ncataloguing and indexing of\nmachine-readable data files was\ncompleted. Full descriptions of\nthese files have been entered\ninto the automated information\ncontrol and retrieval system\nthus providing easy access to\nthe holdings.\nTABLE 111 \u2014Control*\/\nTABLEAU III \u2014 Contr\u00f4le*\n1981-1982 1982-1983 1983-1984 1984-1985 1985-1986\nHistorical Resources Branch\nDirection des ressources historiques\nMetres of Government Textual Records\/\nTextes officiels (m\u00e8tres)\n1242\n542\n1383\n2 230\n684\n332.19\nMetres of Private Textual Records\/\nTextes du secteur priv\u00e9 (m\u00e8tres)\n_\n_\n848\n1085\n519\n494.695\nDocumentary Art and Photographic Records\/\nDocuments photographiques et iconographiques\n591 428\n205 266\n144 428\n865 102\n1 174 761\n1 137 044\nFilm, Television and Sound Records\n(10-minute segments)\/\nDocuments cin\u00e9matographiques, t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9s\net enregistr\u00e9s (dix minutes)\n57 673\n55 045\n47 349 22 006.5\nCartographie Records\/\nDocuments cartographiques\n20 257\n43 720\n61880\n63 745\n53 649\n62 078\nMachine-Readable Data Files\/\nDossiers de donn\u00e9es ordinolingues\n90\n113\n59\n82\n234\n257\nPublished Items\/\nPublications\n8515\n6 244\n6 141\n8 032\n7 550\n4 394\n* Records brought under minimal control.\/\nDocuments soumis \u00e0 un contr\u00f4le minimum. 41 Pr\u00e9servation du patrimoine national\nAcc\u00e8s aux fonds\nCette ann\u00e9e, les Archives nationales ont trait\u00e9 830 m\u00e8tres\nde documents \u00e9crits et 1 226 000\nautres articles.

Combined with the Materials Tracking System which is\nbeing implemented jointly with\nthe Government Archives Division this will provide a continuous record of all holdings in the\nDivision's custody, whether in\nstorage or being used. MAINS\nprovides a much more detailed\nrecord of holdings, including a\ndescription of the informational\ncontent of each fonds, its state\nof arrangement, physical condition and provenance. It will\nbe used for management purposes as well as the basic information source for researchers.\nIn addition to these major applications an automated database is being developed for\nrecords in the Manuscript Division's custody of the French\nRegime in Canada. Known as\n\"Projet d'inventaire des archives\nfran\u00e7aises\" (PIAF) this database will contain nearly 50,000\nrecords by April 1987.\nA number of important collections were organized in the\nManuscript Division and finding\naids for them were prepared or\nrevised. The correspondence\nand manuscripts of H. Marshall\nMcLuhan were fully organized\nand a detailed finding aid prepared. The papers of Robert\nBell, pioneer Canadian geologist, were reorganized to include a large addition of material acquired in 1980. The inventory of the Hudson's Bay\nCompany Archives (Manuscript\nGroup 20) was revised to include newly microfilmed material for the years 1870-1904 and\nto describe some of the other\nseries more accurately. This\nrevised inventory will be especially useful to researchers taking advantage of the interlibrary\nloan service recently instituted\nby the HBC Archives in Winnipeg.\nThe National Archives completed the indexing of the primary correspondence series of\nthe Mackenzie King Papers to\n1946. If funds are available next\nyear, indexing of this series,\nwhich covers the years from\n1921 to 1950, should be completed. The finding aid to the\nFinnish Organization of Canada\nwas completed. The FOC was\none of the major ethnic organizations associated with the\nCanadian radical left.\nThe Cartographic and Architectural Archives Division\nthrough the use of contract\nemployees, processed and produced finding aids for three\nmajor architectural collections:\nPrack and Dobell, Massey\/\nFlanders, and Fetherstonhaugh;\nas well as voluminous collections from the Privy Council\nOffice and Transport Canada.\nA collection of more than 25,000\nforeign topographic maps from\nNational Defence relating to\nWorld War II was also processed. A contract with UTLAS\nInternational to input a backlog\nof approximately 2,000 coded\nwork sheets was finished in this\nfiscal year. The Cartographic\nand Architectural Archives Division installed a mini-computer\n(the IBM System 36) late in the\nfiscal year as well as fourteen\ncomputer work stations. Material tracking applications, accessioning and office automation will be implemented during\nthe coming year. The Division\nhas initiated a project to place\nits subject, author and region\ncatalogue on microfiche. The\nmicrofiche will constitute an\nupdated edition of the Division's\n1976 catalogue.\nThe National Archives Library\nhas this year been integrated\ninto the UTLAS computer\nnetwork. The network facilitates\nbibliographic research and the\nexchange of data and thus\naccelerates the process of\ndescription of works in the\nLibrary. To date, more than\n3,000 titles have been added to\nour listings. Use of microcomputers has also greatly\ncontributed to improving\ncontrol of printed items transferred to the Library from other\ndivisions.\nAs part of the office automation\ninitiative under way in the Government Archives Division\n(GAD), the EDP Records Preservation Unit was integrated\ninto the GAD local area network.\nBecause the storage of the records is in another location, the\nlinkage by computer with the\narchivists will allow for better\nand faster communication concerning the data files.\n35 Children in turnip field \u2014F\nBrothers farm, Woodstock, N.B.,\n1912.

Serving the Nation and the Public Au service de la nation et du public\njit ** \"m,, ^^\n>#\u2022\n*r- 46 Serving the Nation and the Public\nResearch Use\nThe National Archives' most direct and constant service to the\npublic is providing access to\nand consultation services for,\nits collections to a wide range\nof researchers. Much of the\nbenefit of the institution's service is evident in the fruits of\ntheir research.\nFor instance, the protection of\nthe environment is a constant\nconcern of Canadians. Relevant\ninformation often comes from\narchives. When an ecological\ndisaster occurred near the Lees\nAvenue bus station in Ottawa,\nplans in the National Archives\noriginally created for fire insurance purposes were used to\nidentify and locate pools of oil\nwhich were polluting the surrounding area. After the incident, the government authorities did a systematic review of\nindustrial sites using the fire\ninsurance plans.\nAn ever increasing use is made\nof the records of the federal\ngovernment for a variety of personal and research purposes. A\nnotable example of this use has\nbeen by, and on behalf of, native Canadians in two distinct\nareas. The June 1985 passage\nof Bill C-31, \"An Act to Amend\nthe Indian Act\", \u2014 with provisions for the reinstatement of\ncertain Indians who had previously lost their status \u2014 led\nto a dramatic increase in the\nuse of the Indian Affairs Branch\nRecords by those seeking to\nprove their Indian ancestry.\nOn an even broader scale, native groups and researchers\nrepresenting government departments have made extensive\nuse of government records\nwhile conducting native land\nclaim research. The scope of\nclaims research reaches beyond\nthe Indian Affairs Branch records into those of the departments of Transport, Fisheries\nand Oceans, and Railways and\nCanals, to name a few. The use\nof federal machine-readable\ndata is also increasing; the most\nheavily used records are those\nrelating to health issues and\ndrug use as well as the records\nof federal elections, transferred\nfrom the office of the Chief\nElectoral Officer. These files\nprovide information on the individual ridings, the candidates\nand the number of votes\nreceived.\nThe Department of National\nDefence donated in 1985 its\ncollection of historical ship\nplans. This led to an unsuspected new clientele \u2014 the\nbuilders of scale models of vessels. In January 1987, 25 per\ncent of the requests received in\nthe relevant division related to\nthese plans.\nThe Personnel Records Centre\neach year responds to a wide\nvariety of requests concerning\nthe official records of Canada's\nservice men. This year, it\nprovided information from over\n1,800 aircrew personnel for use\nby the British Commonwealth\nAir Training Plan Museum in\nBrandon, Manitoba. Information\nwas provided to Veterans Affairs\nfor restoration of veteran's\nplots in cemeteries and for the\nprovision of gravemarkers for\nmany cemeteries in Canada.\nSeveral communities sought\ninformation with a view to\nerecting memorials and cenotaphs.\n37 Reading Roon\nCanada.\n, National Archives of\n38 General arrangement of profile, forecastle and bridge decks of the Flower\nClass Corvette. Plans such as this\nare used by enthusiastic ship modelers who consulted the National\nArchives in substantial numbers this\nyear. (NMC-55058) 47 Au service de la nation et du public\nServices \u00e0 la recherche\nLe service le plus direct et le\nplus constant offert au public\npar les Archives nationales\nconsiste \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux demandes d'un grand nombre\nde chercheurs dans des domaines vari\u00e9s et leur permettre\nl'acc\u00e8s aux fonds. Les b\u00e9n\u00e9fices\nd\u00e9coulant de ce service sont\n\u00e9vidents dans les fruits des\nrecherches.\nPar exemple, la protection de\nl'environnement est un objet\nde constante pr\u00e9occupation\npour les Canadiens, et souvent,\ndes informations pertinentes\nse trouvent dans les archives.\nAinsi, lorsqu'est survenue la\ncatastrophe \u00e9cologique pr\u00e8s\ndu terminus d'autobus de\nl'avenue Lees \u00e0 Ottawa, des\nplans conserv\u00e9s aux Archives\nnationales et con\u00e7us \u00e0 l'origine\npour les besoins de l'assurance-\nincendie ont permis d'identifier\net de localiser des nappes de\np\u00e9trole qui contribuaient \u00e0\npolluer la r\u00e9gion environnante.\n\u00c0 la suite de l'incident, les\nautorit\u00e9s, utilisant les plans\nd'assurance-incendie, ont\neffectu\u00e9 un examen syst\u00e9matique de tous les sites industriels.\nQue ce soit pour des raisons\npersonnelles ou pour la recherche, on consulte de plus en\nplus les documents du gouver\nnement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral. On a pu le\nconstater notamment, de la\npart et au nom des Canadiens\nautochtones, \u00e0 deux occasions\ndiff\u00e9rentes. La loi C-31, Une loi\npour amender la Loi sur les\nIndiens, vot\u00e9e en juin 1985, qui\npr\u00e9voit la r\u00e9int\u00e9gration de certains autochtones qui avaient\nperdu leur statut, a fait bondir\nde fa\u00e7on dramati q ue le taux\nd'utilisation des documents de\nla Direction des affaires indiennes par ceux qui cherchaient \u00e0 prouver leur origine\nindienne. La demande pour les\ndocuments gouvernementaux\na \u00e9t\u00e9 encore plus forte de la\npart de groupes autochtones et\nde repr\u00e9sentants du gouvernement quand il s'est agi d'effectuer des recherches sur les revendications territoriales des\nautochtones. La port\u00e9e de ces\nrecherches a m\u00eame d\u00e9bord\u00e9 le\ncadre des Affaires indiennes et\nconduit les consultants \u00e0 interroger les documents des Transports, de P\u00eaches et Oc\u00e9ans, et\ndes Chemins de fer et Canaux,\npour n'en nommer que\nquelques-uns. On consulte\naussi de plus en plus les\ndocuments informatis\u00e9s du\ngouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, et parmi\neux, les plus en demande sont\nceux qui se rapportent \u00e0 la\nsant\u00e9 et aux m\u00e9dicaments, de\nm\u00eame que les archives re\u00e7ues\ndu Bureau du pr\u00e9sident des\n\u00e9lections. Ces dossiers contiennent des renseignements\nsur chaque circonscription\n\u00e9lectorale, les candidats et le\nnombre de votes obtenus.\nLe d\u00e9p\u00f4t aux Archives nationales de plans de navires historiques par le minist\u00e8re de la\nD\u00e9fense nationale a suscit\u00e9\nune toute nouvelle client\u00e8le\njusque-l\u00e0 insoup\u00e7onn\u00e9e : les\nconstructeurs de vaisseaux\nminiatures.

The purpose of this\nCouncil, which groups representatives of twelve Provincial\nand Territorial Councils or their\nequivalents and two representatives of the bureau of Canadian Archivists, is to advise the\nNational Archives of Canada\nand other institutions on the\ndevelopment of a Canadian Archival System.\nIn its endeavour to develop\nsuch a system, the National Archives, on the recommendation\nof the CCA, distributed, in 1986-\n1987, over $1,400,000 to various\nCanadian archival institutions.\nThe arrangement and description backlog reduction cost-\nshared cooperative program\nwas developed to help archival\ninstitutions organize their most\nimportant collections and make\nthem more readily accessible\nto the public. Under the terms\nand conditions of this program,\na total of $1,200,000 was allocated to 143 institutions across\nCanada. This program represents an important initial step\nin the National Archives' effort\nto build a Canadian archival\nsystem. Concurrently, funds\nwere also allocated to Provincial\/Territorial Councils or their\nequivalents to conduct a Needs\nAssessment and Planning\nStudy. This study had been\nidentified as the provinces' first\nshort-term priority. Other projects funded included a basic\nbooklet on practical conservation of archival records and the\nAssociation of British Columbia\nArchivists' elementary instruction manual on archival procedures.\n42 Saint-Paul Bay, Charlevoix County,\n1970.

These include registration and orientation of researchers, providing\ngeneral reference services,\nmanaging finding aids, managing written responses to all\nenquiries on the holdings\nand services of the National Archives, and operating loan and\nduplication services for non-\noriginal documentation. This\ncentralization was undertaken\nto better coordinate the National Archives' services to\nresearchers and to give more\nconcerted attention to researchers needs.\nThis year, the National Archives\nresponded to 95,770 inquiries\nfrom public and private researchers by letter, telephone\nand Telex. The Government\nRecords Branch responded to\nrequests for the retrieval of\n1,600,000 files by government\ndepartments. The Historical\nResources Branch, this year,\nregistered 8,600 researchers,\nan increase of 16 per cent over\n1985-1986 and of 38 per cent\nsince 1980-1981. Records produced for examination over the\nwhole Archives totaled over 2\nmillion and 1,200,000 photocopies were produced for\nresearchers.\nA system has been developed\nwhich will permit tracking the\ncirculation of volumes and microfilm reels of textual records\nfor the Government Archives\nand Manuscript Divisions. This,\ntogether with the development\nof a bar coding system for all\nrecords holdings of both Divisions which is now under way,\nwill result in improved control\nand circulation of records within\nthe National Archives and\nthrough the interlibrary loan\nnetwork.\nThis year, the National Archives\norganized sixty-two special visits for 584 visitors. Visitors\ncame from across Canada and\naround the world. Many came\nto learn about specific aspects\nof the National Archives' operations. A delegation from Caen,\nNormandy, France visited the\ninstitution as part of their planning to set up a research centre\non World War II in their own\ncity; two officials from New York\nState came to study the treatment of photographs in the\nNational Archives' Government\nRecords Scheduling Pilot Project and members of the RCMP\nForensic Unit visited Photog\nraphy Services. Other visitors\ncame from the National Library\nof Australia, Archives nationales\nde la France, British Library,\nRadio-Canada International,\nArchives of Ontario, Niagara\nCollege, Welland, and Trent\nUniversity, Peterborough.\nOther Service Activities\nThe National Archives administers Laurier House. This Museum was the former home of\ntwo Canadian prime ministers,\nSir Wilfrid Laurier and William\nLyon Mackenzie King. Mr. King\npresented the house to the na\ntion upon his death in 1950.\nOver 27,000 visitors were received at Laurier House this\nyear.\nThe National Archives shares\nresponsibility with the National\nLibrary for the auditorium and\nboardroom complex in the\nmain building.

It is the national cultural institution\ncharged with acquiring, preserving and providing access\nto our national archival heritage.\nPreservation of the national\nheritage means, naturally, placing a heavy emphasis on the\ndocumentation created by the\nCanadian government. A significant majority of the National\nArchives' holdings come from\nfederal government sources \u2014\nnot only the textual documentation in the Government\nArchives Division, but photographs, maps, films, audio\ntapes, electronically processed\ndata and other media held by\nother National Archives divisions. Most of the other holdings also have a strong relevance to the Canadian\ngovernment. The manuscript\ncollections, for instance, contain the personal papers of federal politicians, administrators,\nmilitary figures and others, as\nwell as the papers of political\nparties and special interest\ngroups involved with the process of government. A second\npart of the Archives' mandate\nlinks it even more strongly to\nthe concerns of government \u2014\nit is the administrative arm of\nthe federal government charged\nwith providing advisory and\noperational services in records\nmanagement.\nThe objective of the Government Records Branch, the\nmajor unit concerned with this\naspect of the Archives' mandate, is the optimum management of government records,\nwhich it carries out through the\nprovision of advice and training,\nrecords storage and disposal,\nreference services and the\nscheduling of records. The\nBranch is comprised of five\noperational divisions. Records\nManagement and Micrographie\nSystems, Automated Information Systems, and the Office of\nMicrographie Standards are\nlargely involved with policy\ndevelopment, new technologies, and advice and assistance\nto our clients. The Personnel\nRecords Centre and the Federal\nRecords Centres are primarily\ninvolved with storing, making\navailable and disposing of\nfederal government records.\nPersonnel Records Centre\nThe Personnel Records Centre\n(PRC) provides records services\nranging from accessions\/storage to reference\/disposal to\nvarious government departments and agencies across\nCanada and overseas. The\nholdings of the Personnel Records Centre continue to be very\nactive with 100,000 requests\nactioned. PRC also disposed\nof 361 metres of records during\nthe year. In order to better serve\nits governmental clients, the\nPRC has published a Users\nGuide which outlines the services provided as well as the\nguidelines and instructions for\ntransferring records to the centre. This guide has now been\ndistributed to some three hundred regional personnel offices\nand has gone a long way in\nclarifying records handling\nprocedures.\nRecords Management and\nMicrographie Systems\nThe Records Management and\nMicrographie Systems Division\n(RMMSD) in concert with other\ndivisions of the Government\nRecords Branch, plays its part\nin the quest for optimum management of government records. Its staff work with departments and agencies and the\nTreasury Board to: increase the\nspeed and accuracy of infor\nmation retrieval in support of\ngovernment decision-making;\nensure the rapid location of\nrecords requested by the Canadian public under Access to\nInformation and Privacy legislation; accord appropriate protection to records; facilitate\nidentification and acquisition\nof archival or historical records\nof importance to the nation;\npromote the application of micrographics and related technologies tofjthe better management of information; and accomplish all these aims with an\neye to economy and efficiency.\n\u25a0\u25a0HP\n\" wBfeif**!\nHBl\u00cbi m\nmili Hp^syyL^ij\nttl\n1\n\u25a0BIhrI w$ w\u00cad$\u00ca$W\u00ca\u00ca\nTABLE V \u2014 Activities of the PRC, 1986-1987\/\nTABLEAU V \u2014 Activit\u00e9s du CDP, 1986-1987\n50 Retrieving records from the Government Records Branch.\nType of Request\/\nType de demande\n1984-1985\n1985-1986\n1986-1987\nMilitary\/Militaire\n33 712\n37 303\n43131\nCivilian\/Civile\n20 003\n11563\n11704\nRCMP\/GRC\n6 649\n16713\n2 220\nInternal\/Interne\n31595\n36 833\n38 039\nX-Rays\/Rayons X\n1367\n1 381\n3 461\nAncillary\/Auxiliaire\n1 147\n1 247\n1 774\nTotal\n94 473\n105 040\n100 329\nInformal and General Requests for Information\/\nDemandes de renseignements informelles et g\u00e9n\u00e9rales\nPersonal Visits\/Visiteurs\n415\n563\nTelex\/T\u00e9lex\n9 065\n9 745\nT\u00e9l\u00e9phone\/T\u00e9l\u00e9phone\n8 820\n6 290\nLetters\/Lettres\n20 757\n19 438\nTotal\n39 057\n36036 59 Gestion des documents du Gouvernement du Canada\nFonctions de gestion\ndes documents\nLes Archives nationales sont\nl'institution culturelle qui veille\n\u00e0 l'acquisition et \u00e0 la conservation du patrimoine archivistique national et qui le rend\naccessible au public.

Its assessment of\nprogress is reflected annually\nin the Report of the National\nArchivist to the Secretary of the\nTreasury Board on the State of\nRecords Management in the\nGovernment of Canada.\nThe National Archivist's 1986\nreport, while acknowledging\nimprovement, asserted that\nthere are still serious shortcomings in the management of\ngovernment records. Specifically, information retrieval still\nappears to fall far short of the\nspeed and quality required to\ngive sufficient support to departmental decision-making. In\nmany departments, records are\ninadequately protected from\nloss, deterioration and unauthorized destruction. The\nscheduling of records, especially of EDP data and personal\ninformation, continues to be\nslow. As a result, archival records often cannot be identified\nfor preservation and even\nworse, when they can, they are\nfrequently not transferred to\nthe National Archives.\nUnless remedial measures are\ntaken quickly, the report predicted that gaps in the historical\nrecord of the country, already\nsignificant, will grow. Records\nmanagement functions will\ncontinue to serve their agencies\nless well than they should. As\nwell, it will be hard for institutions to comply with the new\ngovernment security policy\nand to carry out their responsibilities under Access to Information and Privacy legislation\nin a timely, effective and economical manner.\nFormal evaluations of departmental records management\nprograms, done on a five-year\ncycle, form the main basis for\nthe observations, conclusions\nand recommendations in the\nNational Archivist's annual reports. The twelve evaluations\nto be reflected in the 1987 report are already well under way.\nThe recently issued Guide to\nan Audit of Records Management, to which staff of the Evaluation Section contributed,\nshould promote the reporting\nof audit issues in a sufficiently\nuniform way to determine the\nstate of records management\ngovernment-wide. Audits are to\nbe more comprehensive in\nscope, and are to place special\nemphasis on such critical issues\nas management of the program, retrieval, protection,\nscheduling, retention and disposal (including the identification and transfer of archival\nrecords), automated support\nfor the program, and the management of microfilm and other\nkinds of records such as maps\nand photos.\nScheduling of Records\nFrom the National Archivist's\nperspective, the most critical\naspect of records management,\nand the most important issue in\nevaluations, is scheduling. The\nschedule, which he must approve before any government\nrecords may be destroyed, is\nthe prime instrument for identifying, and ultimately acquiring\nfrom departments, records of\nenduring value to the nation.\nIt is the responsibility of the\nScheduling Section of RMMSD\nto coordinate the examination,\nwithin the National Archives, of\ngovernment records retention\nand disposal submissions. The\npriority this year has been the\nintroduction of a proper records\nmanagement review of such\nsubmissions. A rigorous assessment is now done of each\nsubmission to ensure, before\nreferral to the Historical Resources Branch, that the records concerned are organized\nand described sufficiently well\nto permit an informed archival\nappraisal.\nThis past year, twenty-four\nscheduling submissions were\nprocessed and approved by the\nNational Archivist. Ten of these\nincluded personal information\nbanks and five involved the\nmicrofilming of records.\nEach record must be carefully\nscreened.\n52 There are seven Federal Records\nCentres across the country. 61 Gestion des documents du Gouvernement du Canada\nRapport de\nl'Archiviste national\nLa DSGDM poursuit ses objectifs par des activit\u00e9s d'\u00e9valuation, d'\u00e9tablissement de calendriers de conservation, de\nconsultation et d'aide, de formation, et de recherche et\nd\u00e9veloppement. Ses vues sont\ncontenues dans le rapport annuel de l'Archiviste national\nau secr\u00e9taire du Conseil du\nTr\u00e9sor sur l'\u00e9tat de la gestion\ndes documents au Gouvernement du Canada.\nC'est ainsi que tout en admettant certaines am\u00e9liorations,\nle rapport de 1986 signale de\ns\u00e9rieuses lacunes dans la gestion des documents de l'\u00c9tat.\nDe fa\u00e7on plus pr\u00e9cise, la\nrecherche documentaire appara\u00eet loin de r\u00e9pondre aux normes de vitesse et de qualit\u00e9\nrequises pour aider les minist\u00e8res \u00e0 prendre des d\u00e9cisions\n\u00e9clair\u00e9es. Dans de nombreux\nminist\u00e8res, les documents ne\nsont pas suffisamment prot\u00e9g\u00e9s\ncontre tout danger de perte,\nde d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration et de destruction non autoris\u00e9e. L'\u00e9tablissement de calendriers de conservation accuse toujours des\nlenteurs, particuli\u00e8rement en\nce qui concerne les donn\u00e9es\ninformatis\u00e9es et les renseignements personnels.

Les fonctions de gestion des documents\ncontinueront d'\u00eatre moins efficaces qu'elles ne le devraient,\net les \u00e9tablissements pourront\ndifficilement se conformer \u00e0 la\nnouvelle politique gouvernementale de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et s'acquitter ad\u00e9quatement, efficacement et \u00e9conom iq uement\ndes responsabilit\u00e9s que leur\nimposent les lois sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0\nl'information et sur la protection des renseignements\npersonnels.\nLes remarques, conclusions et\nrecommandations contenues\ndans les rapports annuels de\nl'Archiviste national s'appuient\nsur des \u00e9valuations officielles\ndes programmes de gestion\ndes documents effectu\u00e9es tous\nles cinq ans.

Les v\u00e9rifications\ndevront \u00eatre plus d\u00e9taill\u00e9es et\ninsister davantage sur ces\npoints d'importance capitale\nque sont la gestion du programme, la recherche documentaire, la protection des\ndocuments, l'\u00e9tablissement\nde calendriers, la conservation\net l'\u00e9limination (y compris\nl'identification et le transfert\ndes documents archivistiques),\nle support informatique pour\nle programme, ainsi que la gestion des microfilms et autres\ntypes de documents comme\nles cartes et les photographies.\nCalendriers de conservation\nAux yeux de l'Archiviste national, l'\u00e9tablissement d'un calendrier de conservation forme\nl'aspect le plus critique de la\ngestion des documents et le\npoint le plus important des\n\u00e9valuations. Ce calendrier, que\nl'Archiviste doit approuver\navant qu'un document officiel\npuisse \u00eatre d\u00e9truit, constitue\nl'instrument primordial qui sert\n\u00e0 identifier et, finalement, \u00e0\nacqu\u00e9rir des minist\u00e8res les\ndocuments reconnus de valeur\ndurable pour la nation.\nIl revient \u00e0 la Section de la conservation de la DSGDM de\ncoordonner, \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur des\nArchives nationales, l'examen\ndes demandes minist\u00e9rielles\nde conservation et d'\u00e9limination de documents. La priorit\u00e9,\ncette ann\u00e9e, a \u00e9t\u00e9 de soumettre\nJoutes ces demandes \u00e0 un\nv\u00e9ritable examen de gestion\ndes documents.

The Advice and Assistance Section of RMMSD provides a consulting service to\ndepartments and agencies in\nimproving the management of\ntheir records. The Section seeks\nto react quickly and appropriately to requests. Its aim is to\nprovide advice within one week\nand more substantial assistance\nwithin agreed times. Assistance is limited to one month to\nassure equitable treatment of\nall institutions. Further help is\nfacilitated by participation in\nthe preparation of specifications\nfor outside contracts and in the\nselection of qualified consultants.\nDuring the year, advice and assistance were given to thirty-\ntwo departments and agencies.\nMajor projects have been done\nfor the Privy Council Office,\nRevenue Canada (Minister's\nOffice), the Correctional Service\nof Canada, the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of\nWomen and the Canadian\nWorkplace Automation Research Centre.\nAnother project of special significance is just under way. The\nClerk of the House of Commons\nhas initiated a records management program for the most important records of the House.\nSuch a program will serve the\nHouse well and over time will\nreap a rich harvest of archival\nrecords for the National Archives. The Section is participating in the launching of the\nprogram along with an outside\nconsultant.\nAnother activity of the Section\nhas been coordination of the\ndivisional response to the many\nrequests received from across\ngovernment for assistance in\nthe classification and staffing\nof records management and\nmicrographics positions.\nTraining\nAdvice and assistance to departments and agencies is augmented by the Division's training program in the fundamentals\nof records management and\nmicrographics. The cornerstone of the program, the four-\nweek Records Management\nPrinciples and Practices Course,\nwas held twice in English, in\nthe spring and the fall. Regrettably, the French version, slated\neach year for the fall, had to be\ncancelled for lack of sufficient\napplicants. With an influx of\nfurther nominations received\nsince, the next French course\nhas been advanced from the\nfall to the spring of 1987. The\none-week Introduction to Records Management Course,\ntaught in cooperation with\nchiefs of federal records centres, took place in English in\nHalifax, Moncton, Winnipeg,\nEdmonton and Vancouver; in\nFrench in Montreal; and in both\nEnglish and French in Ottawa.\nThirdly, the one-week Micro-\nrecording Technology Course\nwas offered in English in the\nspring and in French (for the\nfirst time) in the fall.\nCourses are also being designed, to be introduced next\nyear, for the professional development of officers and managers in the records management\nand micrographics communities. To provide a conceptual\nframework within which this\nmore fully rounded program\nwill evolve, the Section has\ndeveloped a philosophy of adult\n^education in both academic\nand lay language. The next\nstep, just completed, is a comprehensive training needs analysis across government.\nResearch and Development\nComplementing RMMSD's initiatives in evaluation, scheduling, advice and assistance, and\ntraining, is its research and\ndevelopment work. The thrust\nof the Research and Development Section's work is on three\nfronts: writing of handbooks of\nrecommended records management and micrographics\nprocedures and-practices for\nthe guidance of departments\nand agencies; fulfilment of the\nentire role envisaged for the\nNational Archives in government micrographics policy;\nand exploitation of the benefits\nof optical disk and other imaging technologies and automated\nsupport for the management of\nrecords. This year, revised\nGeneral Records Disposal\nSchedules of the Government\nof Canada, covering the administrative records of government,\nwere issued.\nThe Section is conducting a\nstudy of the state of micrographics in government. Its aim\nis to determine the degree to\nwhich this technology is being\napplied to the better management of records. The study is\nidentifying the problems and\nascertaining the degree to\nwhich the Section is currently\naddressing them.\nWith respect to automated support for the departmental records management program, a\nnumber of initiatives have occurred: preparation of a report\nincorporating the results of a\nsurvey of computer-assisted\nrecords management systems\nin government; assessment of\nthe effectiveness of the use of\ncomputer-assisted records\nmanagement; and the organization of a seminar and preparation of audio-visual packages\non computer-assisted retrieval.\nIn regards to optical disk technology, research has begun in\nthe Section. Investigation of\nrecent developments in the\nUnited States and abroad is\nproceeding. A workshop and\naudio-visual-package to be used\nfor educational purposes has\nbeen prepared for introduction\nnext year.\nt\n53 Assisting a researcher at the Personnel Records Centre.\n54 The Government Records Branch\nprovides a walk-in service counter. 63 Gestion des documents du Gouvernement du Canada\nServices consultatifs\nDebonsplansde conservation\nsont le r\u00e9sultat d'une bonne\ngestion de documents. Ainsi,\nla Section des services consultatifs de la DSGDM aide les\nminist\u00e8res et organismes\npublics en vue d'une meilleure\ngestion de leurs documents.\nElle cherche \u00e0 apporter une\nr\u00e9ponse rapide et appropri\u00e9e\naux demandes qui lui parviennent. L'objectif vis\u00e9 est de\nfournir une r\u00e9ponse dans un\nd\u00e9lai d'une semaine et d'apporter, dans un d\u00e9lai qui aura \u00e9t\u00e9\nconvenu entre les parties, une\naide plus substantielle pour\nune dur\u00e9e maximale d'un mois\nafin de permettre un traitement \u00e9quitable pour tous les\nminist\u00e8res.

L'\u00e9tape\nsuivante, tout juste termin\u00e9e,\nest une analyse compl\u00e8te des\nbesoins dans tous les services\ndu gouvernement.\nRecherche et perfectionnement\nOutre la consultation et l'assistance, l'\u00e9valuation, l'\u00e9tablissement de calend riers de conservation et la formation, l'activit\u00e9\nde la DSGDM s'exerce aussi\nau niveau de la recherche et du\nperfectionnement. Les efforts de\nla Section de la recherche et du\nperfectionnement visent un\ntriple objectif : r\u00e9diger, \u00e0 l'in\ntention des minist\u00e8res et organismes publics, des manuels\nde proc\u00e9dures et de pratiques\nrecommand\u00e9es en gestion des\ndocuments et en micrographie;\nse conformer int\u00e9gralement au\nr\u00f4le assign\u00e9 aux Archives dans\nla nouvelle politique gouvernementale de micrographie; et\nmettre \u00e0 prof it l'ordinateur, le\ndisque optique et autres technologies visuelles pour la\ngestion des documents.

The systems and departments focused\non to date were Employment\nand Immigration, Statistics\nCanada, Indian and Northern\nAffairs, Health and Welfare,\nand Energy, Mines and Resources. Building on existing\nefforts within each of the selected departments, plans were\ndeveloped concerning the\nmeans by which senior officials\ncould be sensitized to the National Archives' concerns and\ninterests.\nAs schedules are established\nand as historically valuable data\nare identified, government institutions are expected to become more concerned about the\nstorage of data in formats that\nwould ensure their long-term\nsurvival. In order to identify\npossible solutions, a study was\ninitiated to examine the applicability of existing and proposed data and document interchange standards to the data\nconservation needs of institutions and, by extension, to the\narchival interests of the National\nArchives.\nThe second objective of the\nAutomated Information Systems Division is the development of technology-independent specifications for the\nhandling of valuable corporate\nrecords in office automation\nenvironments. An initial set of\nspecifications were developed\nbased on experience gained at\nthe Department of Communications field trial. Based on a\njoint project between the National Archives and the Canadian Workplace Automation\nResearch Centre, these specifications were reviewed by a\nsmall interdepartmental working\ngroup. In an effort to test the\nfunctional specifications in a\nlive environment, an agreement\nwas reached with a vendor to\nbuild prototype software to reflect the specifications and install it on a local area network\nin the National Archives.\nFinally, steps were taken to establish a base of knowledge on\nsystems activities across the\nfederal government. Based on\nexisting sources such as the\nAccess Register, the Information Technology and Systems\nPlan and departmental surveys\nof systems, information was\ncollected and organized on\nselected government departments.\nMicrographie Standards\nThe Office of Micrograhic Standards (OMS) sponsors the\npreparation of micrographie\nstandards (e.g., quality criteria)\nfor the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB), and acts\nas the designated secretariat.\nUnder the chairmanship of the\nDirector, the CGSB Coordinating Committee on Micrographie Standards oversees six\nstandards-writing committees\nconsisting of some seventy-five\npersons across Canada involved\nin the preparation of micro-\ngraphic standards. The Director\nis also the chairman of the\nStandards Council of Canada's\nCanadian Advisory Committee\non International Micrographie\nStandards (ISO).\nThe Director (OMS) headed the\nCanadian delegation of six experts to the meeting of ISO\nTechnical Committee 171 'Micrographics' which was held in\nWashington, D.C. in October.\nCanada provides the secretariat\nof the Working Group 'Microforms in Libraries'.\nThe National Archives hosted\nthe annual meeting of the International Council of Archivists'\n(ICA) Committee on Archival\nReprography held in Ottawa in\nJune, which was attended by\nrepresentatives from the archives of eight European countries.\nFederal Records Centres\nThe Federal Records Centres\n' Division (FRCD) has a mandate\nto provide economical storage\nand related management services for the records of the\ngovernment of Canada. In\n1986-1987 the Division provided\nstorage for 460,000 metres of\npaper records, 216,000 computer tapes, 350,000 reels of microfilm, 329,000 microfiche and\n63,000 reels of sound and video\nrecordings.\nThe records centres are also an\nimportant facet in the archival\nrole of the department. They\nare a half-way house for the\npermanently important semi-\nactive current records created\nby government. After storage\nin the records centre these records are selected and transferred to the archival side of the\ndepartment. The records centres in Vancouver, Edmonton,\nWinnipeg and Halifax provide\nstorage and limited services for\nthe archival records (3,400 metres) which are relevant to the\nregions in which they were\ncreated. In this way the Federal\nRecords Centres provide a valuable National Archives presence in those regions of Canada. Historical records from\nMontreal, Ottawa and Toronto\nare transferred to the Historical\nResources Branch in Ottawa as\nspace is available.\nAgain this year records centres\nare able to demonstrate substantial savings to the federal\ngovernment through cost\navoidance. During the year, 101\ndepartments (1,400 off ices)\ntransferred 92,000 metres of\npaper records, 22,000 computer\ntapes, and 23,600 microforms\ninto the records centres, as well\nas 70,000 metres of classified\nrecords for authorized destruction. In so doing departments\nreleased 25,000 square metres\nof office space and 160,000 linear metres of shelving. If the\npaper records had been retained in office space it would\nhave cost the government over\n$10,100,000. The records\ncentres' cost was just under\n$1,700,000. Cost avoidance on\nthese records therefore\namounted to about $8,400,000. 65 Gestion des documents du Gouvernement du Canada\nSyst\u00e8mes automatis\u00e9s\nd'information\nLa Division des syst\u00e8mes\nautomatis\u00e9s d'information\n(DSAI) a pour premier objectif\nde faciliter la mise en application\nd'un programme gouvernemental en vue de l'\u00e9tablissement de calendriers de\nconservation de donn\u00e9es contenues dans les syst\u00e8mes\nautomatis\u00e9s. On a choisi de se\npencher d'abord sur l'\u00e9tablissement de calendriers de\nconservation pour les donn\u00e9es\ndes syst\u00e8mes et activit\u00e9s\nconnexes du programme dont\non attendait des informations\nde grande valeur archivistique.\nLes syst\u00e8mes et les minist\u00e8res\nchoisis ont \u00e9t\u00e9 ceux d'Emploi\net Immigration, de Statistique\nCanada, des Affaires indiennes\net du Nord, de Sant\u00e9 et Bien-\u00eatre\nsocial, et d'\u00c9nergie, Mines et\nRessources. Partant de ce qui\nexistait d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur de\nchacun de ces minist\u00e8res, on a\n\u00e9labor\u00e9 des strat\u00e9gies de sensibilisation des hauts fonctionnaires aux pr\u00e9occupations et\naux int\u00e9r\u00eats des Archives\nnationales.\nL'\u00e9tablissement des calendriers\nde conservation et l'identification des donn\u00e9es de valeur historique devraient amener progressivement les \u00e9tablissements\ngouvernementaux \u00e0 se pr\u00e9occuper davantage d'entreposer\nleurs documents dans des formats susceptibles de prolonger\nleur esp\u00e9rance de vie. Dans\nl'espoir de trouver les solutions possibles \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me,\non a entrepris d'\u00e9tudier dans\nquelle mesure les normes\nactuelles ou propos\u00e9es pour\nles \u00e9changes de donn\u00e9es et de\ndocuments sont applicables\naux besoins des \u00e9tablissements\nen mati\u00e8re de conservation de\ndonn\u00e9es, et, par extension, aux\nint\u00e9r\u00eats des Archives nationales.\nLe second objectif vis\u00e9 par la\ndivision est l'\u00e9laboration de\nsp\u00e9cifications non technologiques pour le classement,\nle rep\u00e9rage et la conservation\ndes documents de valeur archivistique dans un syst\u00e8me de\nbureautique. Un premier lot de\nsp\u00e9cifications ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9labor\u00e9es\n\u00e0 partir de l'exp\u00e9rience acquise\n\u00e0 l'essai sur le terrain au minist\u00e8re des Communications.\nProduites en vertu d'un projet\nconjoint entre les Archives\nnationales et le Centre canadien\nde recherche sur l'information\ndu travail, ces sp\u00e9cifications\nont \u00e9t\u00e9 analys\u00e9es par un petit\ngroupe de travail interminist\u00e9riel. Afin de proc\u00e9der \u00e0 l'essai .\ndes sp\u00e9cifications dans un\nmilieu naturel, une entente a\n\u00e9t\u00e9 conclue avec un vendeur\npour construire un mod\u00e8le de\nlogiciel conforme aux sp\u00e9cifications et de l'installer sur un\nr\u00e9seau local aux Archives\nnationales.\nEnfin, on a commenc\u00e9 de se\nrenseigner sur l'utilisation des\nsyst\u00e8mes au gouvernement\nf\u00e9d\u00e9ral. Partant des sources\ndisponibles telles que le\nRegistre d'acc\u00e8s, le Ran de\ntechnologie et de syst\u00e8mes\nd'information et les \u00e9tudes\nminist\u00e9rielles, on a pu recueillir\net organiser des donn\u00e9es sur\ncertains minist\u00e8res.\nNonnes micrographiques\nLe Bureau des normes micrographiques (BNM) parraine la\nmise au point de normes micrographiques (p.ex. des crit\u00e8res\nde qualit\u00e9) pour l'Office des\nnormes g\u00e9n\u00e9rales du Canada\n(ONGC), et en assure le secr\u00e9tariat.

Le co\u00fbt des\ncentres de documents \u00e9tant un\npetit peu inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 1 700 000 $,\ncela repr\u00e9sente une \u00e9conomie\nd'environ 8 400 000 $. 66 Managing the Records of the Government of Canada\nThe Division also provided storage and services for 216,000\ncomputer tapes during the year\nthereby saving an additional\n$1,100,000 compared to industry costs. This makes a total\ncost avoidance saving of\n$9,400,000 on 1986-1987 operations based on records intake\nand including only accommodation and equipment costs.\nIt should be noted too that the\nclassified records disposal activity provided employment for\nsixty-five mentally handicapped\npeople through local associations for the handicapped.\nThese people segregated the\nwaste paper into varying grades\nof quality thereby increasing\nthe value of the paper (4,053\ntonnes) sold to recycling firms\nfor $15 to $65 per tonne and\nreturned $265,000 to the government.\nRecords centres achieve considerable cost avoidance savings through economy of scale.\nThe total holdings of the centres\nat the end of 1986-1987 was\n456,000 linear metres of records. The cost of providing\nstorage and services for these\nrecords in departments (including shelving, personnel\nand accommodation) would\nhave been $37,500,000. The\nfederal Records Centres' cost\nfor this is $14,000,000 for a cost\navoidance saving of $24,000,000.\nTo this can be added the Tape\nLibraries and Disposals Services' savings of $5,000,000 for\ntotal savings of $29,000,000.\nMuch has been done to automate control of holdings within\nthe records centres. All statistical reporting is now fully automated. What is interesting,\nhowever, is the impact which\nautomation in other government departments has had on\nrecords centres operations.\nSome departments are tracking\nthe location of individual records through computers. One\ndepartment is using computer\ntechnology to determine the\nactivity rate of records before\ntransferring them to the records centres. Some departments\nare also entering routine information from the records into\ntheir computers. As a result of\nthese automation moves, negative searches, that is requests\nfor records not in the records\ncentres, have dropped from\n550,000 to 400,000. Overall requests for records have dropped\nby 200,000 over prior years.\nDepartments (and the records\ncentres) are also finding that\ncomputer printed file requests\nare more efficient. The records\ncentres have adopted procedures and forms, where necessary, to complement these steps\nin automation and will continue\nto work closely with client departments in order to reap every\npossible benefit from automation.\nThe Tape Libraries continue to\nshow dramatic increases in activity. The highest increases in\nactivity were in the Ottawa and\nHalifax Federal Records Centres. Another facet of records\ncentres services which continues to show a dramatic increase in activity is the non-\naccessioned disposal service\nfor classified records. Security\nof information was of great\nconcern during the year and\nthis may have accounted for a\npart of the increase. This service\nensures that departments have\nsomewhere to send classified\ninformation for prompt, secure\nand certified destruction so that\nneither the nation nor the individual is compromised.\nWhile the importance and sensitivity of working with the nation's records must not be\nunderplayed, the Federal Records Centres have always been\nhighly production oriented.\nThis comes from necessity because they offer from three to\ntwenty-four hour service on\ntheir clients' demands for more\nthan 175,000 records per month.\nProductivity has steadily increased in the records centres\nas Table VI shows. In fact a\nnineteen per cent increase in\nproductivity is shown for 1986\nover the prior year.\nThe National Archives also\nconcerns itself with its own\nrecords. During the year the\ndepartmental Records Management Policy was revised\nand approved by Senior Management. It included a reorganization which redistributed\npersonnel in order to give\ngreater emphasis to the records\noperations and scheduling\nfunctions. This will enhance\nthe department's control over\nits own records.\nTABLE VI \u2014 Federal Records Centres, 1986-1987\/\nTABLEAU VI \u2014 Centres f\u00e9d\u00e9raux de documents, 1986-1987\nCentre\nHalifax\nMontr\u00e9al\nOttawa\nToronto\nWinnipeg\nEdmonton Vancouver\nTotal\nPersonnel\n10\n23\n46\n19\n13\n5\n13\n129\nOffices Served\/Bureaux clients\n214\n256\n199\n184\n126\n182\n231\n1 392\nDepartments and Agencies Served\/\nMinist\u00e8res et organismes clients\n29\n41\n71\n26\n31\n36\n22\n_\nMetres Accessioned\/\nEnregistrements (en m\u00e8tres)\n6612\n14 425\n21 953\n15 474\n13 454\n8017\n11816\n91 751\nSquare Metres of Floor Space Released\/\nSurface lib\u00e9r\u00e9e (en m\u00e8tres carr\u00e9s)\n1 155\n2188\n3 346\n2 025\n2 051\n1474\n2 066\n14 305\nEquipment Released\/\nMat\u00e9riel lib\u00e9r\u00e9\nMetres of Shelving\/\nRayonnage (en m\u00e8tres)\n5 043\n14 425\n21953\n15 474\n13 456\n7 209\n9 778\n67 782\nFile Cabinets\/Classeurs\n521\n\u2014 {\n-\n54\n-\n383\n830\n1791 67 Gestion des documents du Gouvernement du Canada\nAu cours de l'ann\u00e9e, la division\na aussi fourni de l'espace d'entreposage et des services pour\n216000 bandes d'ordinateur,\nfaisant ainsi r\u00e9aliser une \u00e9conomie suppl\u00e9mentaire de\n1100 000 $ par rapport \u00e0 ce\nqu'il en aurait co\u00fbt\u00e9 en recourant au secteur priv\u00e9.

Toutes\nles donn\u00e9es statistiques sont\nmaintenant enti\u00e8rement automatis\u00e9es. Mais il est int\u00e9ressant\nde souligner comment l'automatisation d'autres services du\ngouvernement a influenc\u00e9 les\nop\u00e9rations des centres.\nEn effet, il existe aujourd'hui\ndes minist\u00e8res qui interrogent\nl'ordinateur pour trouver la\nlocalisation de dossiers, un\nautre pour \u00e9valuer le degr\u00e9\nd'activit\u00e9 des dossiers avant\nde les exp\u00e9dier au centre de\ndocuments, et d'autres encore\ns'affairent \u00e0 transcrire les renseignements courants de leurs\nfichiers sur ordinateur. Toutes\nces initiatives ont entra\u00een\u00e9 une\ndiminution des recherches\ninfructueuses, c'est-\u00e0-dire celles\nde documents qui ne se trouvaient pas dans les centres,\n400 000 au lieu de 550 000\nant\u00e9rieurement. En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, les\ncentres ont re\u00e7u, cette ann\u00e9e,\n200 000 demandes de moins\nque les ann\u00e9es pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes.\nCertains minist\u00e8res (et les\ncentres aussi) appr\u00e9cient\ndavantage l'efficacit\u00e9 des\ndemandes adress\u00e9es par ordinateur. Les centres de documents ont donc adopt\u00e9 des\nr\u00e8gles et des formulaires l\u00e0 o\u00f9\nc'\u00e9tait n\u00e9cessaire pour compl\u00e9ter ces \u00e9tapes de leur automatisation et continueront de\ntravailler en \u00e9troite collaboration\navec les minist\u00e8res clients de\nmani\u00e8re \u00e0 tirer profit le plus\npossible de l'automatisation.\nL'activit\u00e9 des magn\u00e9toth\u00e8ques,\nnotamment dans les centres\nd'Ottawa et Halifax, continue\nd'\u00eatre dramatiquement \u00e0 la\nhausse. Il en est de m\u00eame du\nservice d'\u00e9limination pour les\ndocuments secrets non enregistr\u00e9s. Cela s'explique par la\ngrande publicit\u00e9 qui a entour\u00e9\nla s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des renseignements\ncette ann\u00e9e. Ce service met \u00e0\nla disposition des minist\u00e8res\nun endroit s\u00fbr o\u00f9 ils peuvent envoyer leurs documents secrets\npour que leur destruction\nd\u00fbment attest\u00e9e s'effectue\nrapidement et en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9,\nsans risquer de compromettre\nni l'\u00c9tat ni le particulier.\nSans nier l'importance et le\ncaract\u00e8re parfois d\u00e9licat de\nleur travail avec les documents\ndu gouvernement, les centres\nf\u00e9d\u00e9raux ont toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 fortement orient\u00e9s vers la productivit\u00e9. C'est une v\u00e9ritable n\u00e9cessit\u00e9, car ils veulent r\u00e9pondre\nen moins de vingt-quatre\nheures aux demandes de leurs\nclients pour plus de 175000\ndossiers par mois. Comme le\nd\u00e9montre le tableau VI, la productivit\u00e9 s'est constamment\naccrue dans les centres pour\nafficher, cette ann\u00e9e, un taux\nde 19 pour 100 sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0\ncelui de l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re.\nLes Archives nationales se\nsoucient aussi de leurs propres\ndocuments.

This\nrepresents a decrease of 12 per\ncent in the number of formal\nrequests completed compared\nto the previous year. This decrease is largely because in\n1985-1986, over 2,700 formal\nrequests for information were\nreceived following the participation of PRC at a convention\nof the Royal Canadian Air Force\n(Women's Division) Association. This year, the Centre has\nnot been directly involved in\nsuch reunions. However, it has\nprovided assistance on several\noccasions to individuals who\nwere invited as guest speakers\nto give presentations about access to military and other federal government personnel\nrecords for genealogical and\nhistorical societies.\nAs has been the case since the\ninception of ATIP legislation,\nactivities under the Privacy Act\nhave again been much greater\nthan under the Access to Information Act. During the period\nunder review 6,600 privacy requests were completed while\nonly 290 access to information\nrequests were processed. It\nshould be noted, however, that\nthe number of formal Access to\nInformation requests processed\nthis year has more than doubled over the 122 Access requests completed in 1985-1986.\nThe Centre also responded to\n36,000 informal requests for information received from the\npublic, federal and provincial\ngovernment departments, municipalities, members of parliament, etc. These requests covered such diverse subjects as\nconfirmation of military and\ngovernment service; references\nfor employment; course reports;\ntrade qualifications; servicemen's wills; proof of birth or\nmarriage and death certificates;\nassistance in locating former\nco-workers, witnesses to accidents, or natural parents; confirmation of places of residence\nfor legal and pensions purposes; medical, dental, vaccination and immunization\nrecords; Oaths of Allegiance to\nobtain visas from foreign consulates; applications for pardons\nbased on the Criminal Record\nAct; decorations, medals and\ncitations; historical and genealogical research; and so on.\nThese requests were all handled\nin accordance with the stipulations of the Access to Information and Privacy Act. In addition,\nthe Centre has also disclosed\npersonal information in 226\ncases to authorized federal investigative bodies to enforce a\nlaw or lawful investigation.\nIn the Access Section of the\nGovernment Archives Division,\nrecords relating to Nazi war\ncriminals and compensation\nfor Japanese-Canadians interned during World War II\ncontinued to play a part in the\nworkload. About one-third of\nthe formal requests were\nrelated to sensitive Immigration\nBranch SF Series files. Because\nof the security and intelligence\naspects of these records, their\nreview was difficult and required\nconsultations with a number of\nfederal departments and agencies.\nThe role of the Access Section\nshould soon expand to encompass implementation of the\nnew government-wide security\npolicy in relation to the declassification and downgrading of\narchival records, and the anticipated inclusion of new agencies under the provision of the\nAccess and Privacy legislation.\nMajor review projects planned\nby the Access Section for closed\nrecords which are of special interest to the research community should be possible in 1987\nwith the addition of new personnel. An extensive review of\nthe Department of National\nDefence records was undertaken by contract help.\nTABLE VII \u2014 Activities of the PRC under the Access to Information and Privacy Acts\/\nTABLEAU VII \u2014 Activit\u00e9s du CDP en vertu des lois sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information et sur la protection des renseignements personnels\nAccess to Information Act\/\nLoi sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information\nResponse Time (%)\/\nD\u00e9lai de r\u00e9ponse (%)\nUnder 30 Days\/ 30 to 60 Days\/ Over 60 Days\/\nInf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 30 jours Entre 30 et 60 jours Sup\u00e9rieure 60 jours\nNumber of Formal Requests Processed\/\nNombre de demandes formelles trait\u00e9es\n290\n84.48\n14.83\n0.69\nNumber of Photocopies Provided\/\nNombre de photocopies fournies\n16053\nPrivacy Act\/\nLoi sur la protection des renseignements personnels\nNumber of Formal Requests Processed\/\nNombre de demandes formelles trait\u00e9es\n6615\n97.85\n2.00\n0.15\nNumber of Photocopies Provided\/\nNombre de photocopies fournies\n613689\nTotal Number of Formal Requests Processed\/\nNombre total de demandes formelles trait\u00e9es\n6905\n97.29\n2.54\n0.17\nTotal Number of Photocopies Provided\/\nNombre total de photocopies fournies\n629 742 69 Gestion des documents du Gouvernement du Canada\nLois sur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'inf ormation\net sur la protection des\nrenseignements personnels\nLa participation des Archives\nnationales \u00e0 la mise en application de ces lois et aux consultations qui ont pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 leur\n\u00e9laboration a \u00e9t\u00e9 consid\u00e9rable.\nDeux divisions ont particuli\u00e8rement collabor\u00e9 \u00e0 la mise en\napplication : le Centre des\ndocuments du personnel et la\nDivision des archives\ngouvernementales.\nLe Centre des documents du\npersonnel (CDP) a trait\u00e9 6 900\ndemandes formelles de renseignements, c'est-\u00e0-dire des\ndemandes en vertu de la Loi\nsur l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l'information ou\nde la Loi sur la protection des\nrenseignements personnels\nutilisant les formulaires prescrits.

Teams of archivists worked at the records\ncentres in Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg during the\nyear. Based on this experience\nover two years, the Government\nArchives Division produced, at\nthe request of the Senior Management Committee, a position\npaper on the nature and scope\nof regional records, problems,\nopportunities and options for\nhandling a situation increasing\nin importance with the ongoing\ndecentralization and regionali-\nzation of federal government\nactivities.\nFor several decades, the National Archives has undertaken\na little known role in the area of\nnational security. Through an\nagreement between the National Archives and the Department of National Defence, the\nlatter department has deposited\nor arranged for the deposit of\nmaps of many foreign countries\nin the Cartographic and Architectural Archives. The majority\nof non-Canadian maps held by\nthe Cartographic and Architectural Archives have been acquired through this agreement.\nIn return, the National Archives\nhas agreed to retain copies in\nmint condition for the use of\nNational Defence, as required.\nIn the past year, negotiations\nhave been carried out by the\ntwo departments because of\nthe need for tighter security\nregulations resulting from increasing international terrorism.\nIts responsibilities and concerns\nfor documentation relating to\nthe federal government sometimes results in storage problems for the National Archives.\nWhile its environmentally controlled storage capacity has\nbeen expanded in recent years,\nthe transfer of the CBC 'kine'\ncollection (film records of television productions from the first\ndecade of broadcasting, 1952-\n1962, roughly 25,000 cans) from\nthe Toronto Records Centre to\nOttawa has filled all available\nspace. The Moving Image and\nSound Archives has proposed\nthat the old technical facility\nspace be refitted as storage\nspace as it is already equipped\nwith environmental controls.\nThis will allow the transfer of\nthe kine collection from Radio-\nCanada (20,000 cans) now\nstored at the Montreal Records\nCentre. The additional space\nwill also allow the deposit of\nCBC Toronto holdings. Other\nfederal government agencies\nthat transferred substantial film,\nvideo or sound collections to\nthe Moving Image and Sound\nArchives over the past year include the Solicitor General,\nCanadian High Commission in\nLondon, the Royal Canadian\nMounted Police, the Royal\nCommission on Sealing, Agriculture Canada, the Canada\nCouncil, Department of National Defence, House of Commons, National Health and\nWelfare, and the Royal Commission on the Ocean Ranger\nMarine Disaster.\nThe National Archives also put\nmuch effort into improving its\nown general efficiency. Considerable attention was given\nto the development of the departmental Long Range Information Technology and Systems Plan (LRITSP) throughout\nthe latter half of 1986-1987. The\nLRITSP will have a major impact on the future development\nof computer applications\nthroughhoutthe National Archives over the next five to ten\nyears.\nResources were devoted to office automation specifically in\ndeveloping the first automated\noffice environment to operate\non a local area network (interlinked network of microcomputers) in the National Archives.\nEvery attempt was made to include representatives from all\nthose areas of the department\nthat will have a role to play in\nany future office automation\napplications. Functional specifications and a site preparation plan were developed under\ncontract. An assessment group\nhas begun work on the evaluation of the effects of the systems\non office activities and staff.\nThis application will serve as a\ntest site to undertake further\nresearch on software for document and task management\nfor identifying and controlling\narchival records. It will also\nprovide the on-site experience\nrequired to handle the records\ncreated in such a system.\nThe efforts in information systems planning begun last year \u2022\nwere continued this year and\nresulted in the production of\nthe Long Range Information\nPlan (LRIP) in July 1986. This\nplan, based on the essential\nfunctions of the department,\nprovides the information framework within which information\nsystems, both manual and automated, can be constructed.\nThe completion of the LRIP was\nimmediately followed by the\ndevelopment of LRITSP. The\nLRITSP established the framework for the development of\nautomated information systems.\nThe two plans will enable the\ndepartment to better manage\nits resources and activity in applying computer technology.\nMajor work was undertaken on\nthe development of a departmental Five Year Plan for the\nmanagement and acquisition\nof machine-readable records.\nThe plan described the issues\nwhich must be faced in order to\nensure that these records are\nnot lost; specific projects or activities which must be undertaken over the planning period;\nand the resources required to\ncomplete the work. The Five\nYear Plan provides a departmental approach to EDP records and was approved by\nSenior Management in August\n1986. A survey of automated\nsystems of the departments\nconsidered to be major creators\nof data was completed and provided information on the nature\nand scope of the use and creation of automated systems.\nIn 1986-1987, the Policy Branch\ncarried out two major studies.\nThe first, the LRIP, was divided\ninto three stages: definition of\nthe role of the National Archives;\ndevelopment of an information\nnetwork; and development of\nan application framework. This\nplan represents the global\nframework used for information\nmanagement and the EDP\nsystems planning and development in National Archives.\nThe second, Organization\nStudy: The Requirements for\nChange, carried out jointly by a\nteam of independent consultants, consisted of three phases:\ndiagnosis of organizational\nissues, identification of potential change alternatives; and\ntesting of the alternatives in\norder to recommend the most\nviable option. The results from\nthis study were revjewed by the\nNational Archivist and National\nArchives Senior Management\nCommittee during the strategic\nplanning session held in September 1986. The resulting reorganization came into effect\n1 December 1986. The implementation committee, chaired\nby the Assistant National Archivist, oversees the various\nstages. 71 Gestion des documents du Gouvernement du Canada\nAutres activit\u00e9s reli\u00e9es au\ngouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral\nDe grands efforts de planification ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s pour\nrendre les documents du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral plus accessibles dans les r\u00e9gions. Des\n\u00e9quipes d'archivistes ont travaill\u00e9, cette ann\u00e9e, dans les\ncentres de documents de Vancouver, Edmonton et Winnipeg.\nForte de cette exp\u00e9rience de\ndeux ans, et r\u00e9pondant \u00e0 une\ndemande du Comit\u00e9 de la haute\ndirection, la Division des archives gouvernementales a r\u00e9dig\u00e9\nun document sur la nature et\nla port\u00e9e des dossiers r\u00e9gionaux, les probl\u00e8mes qu'ils\nposent, les possibilit\u00e9s qu'ils\noffrent et les solutions pour faire\nface \u00e0 une situation de plus en\nplus pr\u00e9occupante avec la\npolitique actuelle de d\u00e9centralisation et de r\u00e9gionalisation\ndes activit\u00e9s du gouvernement\nf\u00e9d\u00e9ral.\nLes Archives nationales jouent,\ndepuis quelques d\u00e9cennies, un\nr\u00f4le peu connu dans le domaine\nde la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale. En\nvertu d'un accord avec le minist\u00e8re de la D\u00e9fense nationale,\ncelui-ci d\u00e9pose ou fait d\u00e9poser\ndes cartes de nombreux pays\naux Archives cartographiques\net architecturales. La majorit\u00e9\ndes cartes \u00e9trang\u00e8res conserv\u00e9es aux Archives sont dues \u00e0\ncet accord. En retour, les\nArchives nationales s'engagent\n\u00e0 garder des copies \u00e0 l'\u00e9tat de\nneuf pour les besoins de la\nD\u00e9fense nationale. Au cours de\nl'ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e, la vague\nmontante de terrorisme international a forc\u00e9 les deux\norganismes \u00e0 n\u00e9gocier un\nresserrement des r\u00e8gles de\ns\u00e9curit\u00e9.\nLe souci qu'ont les Archives\nnationales de remplir leur mandat relativement aux documents\ndu gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral leur\ncause parfois des probl\u00e8mes\nd'entreposage. Bien que l'espace d'entreposage climatis\u00e9\nait \u00e9t\u00e9 augment\u00e9 ces derni\u00e8res\nann\u00e9es, la collection \u00ab cin\u00e9 \u00bb\nde Radio-Canada anglais (productions sur film des \u00e9missions\ndes dix premi\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de la\nt\u00e9l\u00e9vision, 1952-1962, en gros\n25 000 bo\u00eetes) envoy\u00e9e par\nle Centre de documents de\nToronto a pris tout l'espace\ndisponible. Les Archives audiovisuelles ont propos\u00e9 de transformer l'espace des anciennes\ninstallations techniques en\nentrep\u00f4t, vu qu'il est d\u00e9j\u00e0\n\u00e9quip\u00e9 de syst\u00e8me de climatisation. On pourra ainsi y transf\u00e9rer la collection \u00ab cin\u00e9 \u00bb de\nRadio-Canada fran\u00e7ais (20 000\nbo\u00eetes) maintenant entrepos\u00e9e\nau Centre de documents de\nMontr\u00e9al, et entreposer les\ncollections de Radio-Canada\nde Toronto. D'autres organismes publics f\u00e9d\u00e9raux ont\nenvoy\u00e9 aux Archives d'importantes collections de films et\nd'enregistrements sonores\net magn\u00e9toscopiques, entre\nautres : le Solliciteur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral,\nle Haut Commissariat du\nCanada \u00e0 Londres, la Gendarmerie royale du Canada, la\nCommission royale sur la\nchasse aux phoques, Agriculture Canada, le Conseil des\nArts du Canada, le minist\u00e8re de\nla D\u00e9fense nationale, la Chambre des communes, Sant\u00e9 et\nBien-\u00eatre social Canada et la\nCommission royale d'enqu\u00eate\nsur la trag\u00e9die de l'Oc\u00e9an\nRarfger.\nLes Archives nationales ont\nd\u00e9ploy\u00e9 des efforts consid\u00e9rables pour am\u00e9liorer leur\npropre efficacit\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9rale.

Les\nr\u00e9sultats de cette \u00e9tude ont \u00e9t\u00e9\nanalys\u00e9s par l'Archiviste national et le Comit\u00e9 de la haute\ndirection lors de leur session\nde planification strat\u00e9gique en\nseptembre 1986. La r\u00e9organisation qui en est r\u00e9sult\u00e9e est entr\u00e9e en vigueur le 1er d\u00e9cembre\n1986. Le Comit\u00e9 de mise en\napplication, pr\u00e9sid\u00e9 par l'Archiviste national adjoint, est charg\u00e9 de superviser les diverses\n\u00e9tapes de l'op\u00e9ration. Notre personnel\nF 74 Our Staff\nReorganization has produced a\nmultitude of staff changes within\nthe National Archives. Amongst\nthe most major, Bernard Weil-\nbrenner has become Special\nAdvisor to the National Archivist; Michael Swift has become\nAssistant National Archivist;\nJay Atherton, Director-General\nof the Historical Resources\nBranch; Lee McDonald, Director-General of the Government\nRecords Branch; Fran\u00e7oise\nHoule, Director-General of the\nPolicy Branch; Robert Gordon,\nSpecial Advisor to the Assistant\nNational Archivist; Andrew\nBirrell, Director-General of the\nInformatics and Records Services Branch; Mich\u00e8le LaRose,\nAssistant Director-General in\nthe Conservation Branch; and\nHarold Naugler, Assistant\nDirector-General in the Historical Resources Branch. Georges\nDelisle has undertaken a\nspecial pre-retirement iconographie project.\nStaff Contributions beyond\nthe Department\nThe staff of the National Archives have extensive expertise\nin many fields and their services\nand knowledge are sought far\nbeyond the National Archives.\nA listing of individual contributions can be found in Appendix D.\nPersonnel\nAlthough the main purpose of\ndepartmental restructuring was\nthe maximization of human resources in a period of severe\nbudget restraint, another key\nobjective was to create opportunities for the achievement of\naffirmative action goals and\ntargets.\nBefore the reorganization, the\nsenior management cadre in\nthe National Archives comprised one woman and seventeen men (a representation of\nwomen of 5.6 per cent). After\nthe reorganization is completed,\nthere will be a minimum of\nthree to five women in the senior management category,\none of which will be at the Director-General level (a representation of 16.6 to 30 percent).\nThis percentage exceeds the\nnumerical objective originally\nset for the National Archives in\nthis area, and exceeds the numerical target established by\nthe Treasury Board (12 per cent\nby March 1988) for the representation of women in senior\nmanagement in the Public Service as a whole.\nTo ensure that there is a sufficient representation of women\nin the levels immediately below\nsenior management, the National Archives has put into\nplace a comprehensive Senior\nManagement development program. This program will enable\nthe participants to acquire specific training and skills that will\nenable them to compete for\nand assume senior management positions in the National\nArchives or in other government\ndepartments.\nWhile the National Archives has\nachieved significant increases\nin the representation of women\nin many categories of employment, such as in the Historical\nResearch group, other areas of\naffirmative action are also being\naddressed. Efforts are continuing toward increasing the representation of other under-\nrepresented groups, for example, indigenous people, the\ndisabled and visible minorities.\nTo the extent that is possible\nunder budget restrictions, reduction in the total staff complement of the department, the\nneed to try to redeploy employees declared surplus in this and\nother departments, and the\nnormally low rate of turnover,\nqualified members of the minority groups will be recruited\nto fill vacant positions.\nThe department is continuing\nits attempts to minimize the effects of workforce reduction on\nits employees. Through the:\ncombined efforts of National\nArchives managers, personnel\nofficers, the Workforce Adjustment Committee, and the employees themselves, the Archives has been extremely successful thus far. Since September 1985, sixty-eight employees\nhave been advised that their\npositions were surplus to departmental requirements \u2014 the\nmajority as a result of the phasing out of the Central Microfilm\nOperations.

Cela diminue le\nnombre de frappes requises pour\nentrer dans le syst\u00e8me. Looking to the Future Un regard vers l'avenir\nmrik f\n78 Looking to the Future\nThe objective of the National\nArchives of Canada has been\nand will continue to be the systematic preservation of government and private records of\nCanadian national significance.\nThis facilitates not only the effective and efficient operation\nof the government of Canada\nand historical research in all\naspects of the Canadian experience, but also the protection\nof collective and individual\nrights and the enhancement of\na sense of national identity\nbased on archives as the collective memory of the nation.\nLegislation\nFor several years, the National\nArchives has anticipated having\nits 1912 Act replaced with new\nlegislation that would establish\nfirmly in law its role \u2014 as a preserver of records of Canadian\nnational significance, as a provider of advisory and operational services in records management to federal departments\nand agencies, and as a supporter of the Canadian archival\ncommunity and archival activities. The introduction of new\nlegislation for the National Archives of Canada took place in\nFebruary, when the proposed\nbill received its first reading.\nAfter second reading in June\n1986, it was referred to a Legislative Committee for study.\nAfter receiving all-party approval to reinstate the legislation,\nthe bill was reintroduced in October when the new session of\nParliament began. The new archives legislation will be enacted\nin June 1987.\nAccommodation\nA critical concern is the lack of\nadequate storage space to\nhouse the historical collections\nof the National Archives. The\nholdings of the Archives, accumulated over a period of more\nthan a century, have a monetary\nvalue of over one billion dollars\nand a heritage value that is inestimable. In spite of this,\nall of the collections are\nstored in buildings woefully\nlacking in environmental controls, plagued by water leaks\nthat continually damage documents and with questionable\nsecurity control. Valuable time\nis spent shuttling both staff and\narchival records between too\nmany dispersed storage locations. A great amount of staff\ntime and energy will continue\nto be devoted both to the protection of documents stored in\nunsuitable conditions and to\nthe acquisition of more suitable\nstorage space. The objective is\nto have, by the early 1990s, in\nproximity to the National\nLibrary in Ottawa, a permanent\nNational Archives headquarters\nbuilding worthy of this nation's\nstature, built to acceptable archival standards on a safe site.\nSuch a headquarters building\nmust be supplemented as required by additional accommodation, either as expansions of\nthe permanent structure or as\nsatellite facilities.\nAutomation\nIn order to improve productivity\nwithin operational and administrative areas, management\nhas begun focussing on the\nmanner in which automation is\nbeing applied within the National Archives of Canada. Priority is being given to the development i n 1987-1988 of a\nworkable top-down long-range\ninformation plan indicating\ndepartmental information functions, requirements and priorities. Following shortly after, a\nlong-term departmental EDP\nplan will be prepared.\nThe use of automation for\ngreater public accessibility to\nNational Archives holdings and\nservices, both within and beyond the National Capital Region, will be given particular\nemphasis. Pilot projects will be\ndesigned and implemented to\ndeliver National Archives information across the nation. Additionally, work will continue on\na limited basis on automated\noperational systems within Financial and Administrative Services and Personnel Services.\nThe regional federal records\ncentres will continue to develop\nautomated systems to control\ntheir activities.\nRetention of Documents\nOne critical impact of recent\ntechnological change is the\nexpanding volume of information produced by the government and private sectors. This\ninformation is being recorded\non a variety of new media such\nas optical and magnetic discs,\ntapes and film, as well as on the\nmore traditional medium of\npaper. At the same time, technology is multiplying the possibilities of storing large quantities of information in ever smaller formats.\nThe explosion of information is\na major challenge for archives.\nIts abundance makes difficult\nthe selection of appropriate\nrecords for long-term retention,\nand imposes new responsibilities on archives for each new\nrecord medium. At the same\ntime, as more new records are\ncreated, others are destroyed\nby erasing or are rewritten before an archivist ever becomes\naware of their existence. Access to those records coming\ninto an archives becomes complicated by the variety of media\nand micro formats. Processing,\nstorage and indexing become\nincreasingly more complex activities, demanding specialized\nskills and technologies. Moreover, increased archival information means increased public\ndemand for access and use. 79 Un regard vers l'avenir\nL'objectif des Archives nationales a \u00e9t\u00e9 et demeure de pr\u00e9server de fa\u00e7on syst\u00e9matique\nles documents priv\u00e9s et publics\nd importance nationale pour\nle Canada. Cet objectif vise\nnon seulement \u00e0 assurer une\nadministration plus efficace\net plus fructueuse du Gouvernement du Canada et \u00e0 favoriser\nla recherche historique dans\ntous les aspects de l'exp\u00e9rience\ncanadienne, mais aussi \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les droits individuels et\n\u00e0 rehausser un sentiment\nd'identit\u00e9 nationale fond\u00e9 sur\ndes archives qui seraient la\nm\u00e9moire collective de la nation.\nLoi\nDepuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es,\nles Archives nationales souhaitent le remplacement de\nleur loi de 1912 par une nouvelle loi qui \u00e9tablira solidement\nleur triple r\u00f4le : conserver les\ndocuments d'importance nationale, fournir aux minist\u00e8res et\norganismes du gouvernement\ndes services de consultation\net d'aide en gestion des documents, et appuyer la communaut\u00e9 archivistique canadienne.\nLa nouvelle loi a effectivement\n\u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e en premi\u00e8re lecture pendant le mois de f\u00e9vrier.\nApr\u00e8s la seconde lecture en\njuin 1986, le projet a \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9\nen commission parlementaire\npour y \u00eatre \u00e9tudi\u00e9. Apr\u00e8s avoir\nobtenu le consentement unanime des partis, le projet fut\n\u00e0 nouveau pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au Parlement au mois d'octobre, \u00e0\nl'ouverture de la session. La\nnouvelle loi sera promulgu\u00e9e\nen juin.\nLocaux\nLe manque d'espace pour\nentreposer les documents historiques qu'elles d\u00e9tiennent\ndemeure pour les Archives\nnationales un objet de grande\npr\u00e9occupation. Les acquisitions effectu\u00e9es depuis plus\nd'un si\u00e8cle repr\u00e9sentent une\nvaleur mon\u00e9taire de plus d'un\nmilliard de dollars et constituent un patrimoine d'une\nrichesse inestimable. Malgr\u00e9\ntout cela, tous ces documents\nsont gard\u00e9s dans des \u00e9difices\nd\u00e9pourvus de tout contr\u00f4le\nenvironnemental, o\u00f9 des fuites\nd'eau peuvent \u00e0 tout moment\ncauser des dommages, et o\u00f9 la\ns\u00e9curit\u00e9 des lieux laisse beaucoup \u00e0 d\u00e9sirer. Un temps\npr\u00e9cieux se perd \u00e0 faire voyager\nle personnel et les documents\nentre de nombreux centres\nd'entreposage dispers\u00e9s. Le\npersonnel continuera de consacrer une part appr\u00e9ciable de\nson temps et de son \u00e9nergie \u00e0\nla protection de documents\nentrepos\u00e9s dans des conditions\ninacceptables et \u00e0 la recherche\nd'espace d'entreposage plus\nconvenable. L'objectif vis\u00e9 est\nde construire au d\u00e9but des\nann\u00e9es 1990 un \u00e9difice central\n\u00e0 la hauteur du prestige de la\nnation et r\u00e9pondant \u00e0 des crit\u00e8res archivistiques acceptables.\nCet \u00e9difice, qui serait situ\u00e9 sur\nun terrain s\u00fbr pr\u00e8s de la Biblioth\u00e8que nationale \u00e0 Ottawa,\nserait compl\u00e9t\u00e9 au besoin par\ndes b\u00e2timents suppl\u00e9mentaires,\nsoit des ailes ajout\u00e9es \u00e0 la\nstructure permanente, soit des\nlocaux ind\u00e9pendants.\nAutomatisation\nPour am\u00e9liorer la productivit\u00e9\ndans les domaines administratif et op\u00e9rationnel, la direction\na entrepris une \u00e9tude sur la\nfa\u00e7on dont l'automatisation est\nappliqu\u00e9e aux Archives nationales. On donne la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 la\nmise au point en 1987-1988\nd'un plan d'information \u00e0 long\nterme, hi\u00e9rarchique et praticable, indiquant les fonctions,\nles exigences et les priorit\u00e9s\nd information du minist\u00e8re. Peu\nde temps apr\u00e8s, on proc\u00e9dera\n\u00e0 l'\u00e9laboration d'un plan\ninformatique minist\u00e9riel \u00e0\nlong terme.\nOn portera une attention particuli\u00e8re \u00e0 l'emploi de l'automatisation pour rendre les\ndocuments et les services\ndes Archives nationales plus\naccessibles au public, non\nseulement dans la R\u00e9gion de\nla capitale nationale, mais\nailleurs au pays. Des projets\npilotes seront con\u00e7us dans le\nbut d'\u00e9tendre le r\u00e9seau d'information \u00e0 la nation tout enti\u00e8re.\nDe plus, les services financiers,\nadministratifs et du personnel\npoursuivront, sur un plan limit\u00e9,\nleurs travaux d'\u00e9laboration\nd'un syst\u00e8me op\u00e9rationnel informatis\u00e9. Les centres f\u00e9d\u00e9raux\nde documents continueront \u00e0\n\u00e9laborer des syst\u00e8mes automatis\u00e9s pour contr\u00f4ler leurs\nactivit\u00e9s.\nS\u00e9lection des documents\nUn des impacts critiques des\ninnovations techniques r\u00e9centes\nest l'accroissement du volume\nd'information produit par les\nsecteurs public et priv\u00e9. Cette\ninformation peut \u00eatre enregistr\u00e9e sur un grand nombre de\nsupports nouveaux, par exemple sur des disques optiques\nou magn\u00e9tiques, sur des bandes\net sur film, ou elle peut \u00eatre\ninscrite sur le support de papier\ntraditionnel. Par la m\u00eame occasion, la technologie augmente\nles possibilit\u00e9s de stocker de\ngrandes quantit\u00e9s d'information\ndans des formats de plus en\nplus petits.\nCette explosion de l'information\nest un d\u00e9fi majeur pour l'archi-\nvistique. L'abondance de\nl'information rend difficile la\ns\u00e9lection des documents qu'il\nconvient de conserver \u00e0 long\nterme et impose de nouvelles\nresponsabilit\u00e9s aux archives\npour chaque nouveau support\nde document. En m\u00eame temps,\n\u00e0 mesure que de nouveaux\ndocuments sont cr\u00e9\u00e9s, d'autres\nsont d\u00e9truits par l'effacement\nou sont remani\u00e9s avant m\u00eame\nqu'un archiviste ne s'aper\u00e7oive\nde leur existence. L'acc\u00e8s aux\n\u25a0documents de ce type acquis\npar des archives devient difficile \u00e0 cause de la gamme de\nsupports et de microformats.\nLe traitement, le stockage et\nl'indexation sont des activit\u00e9s\nde plus en plus complexes, qui\nexigent des comp\u00e9tences et\ndes techniques sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9es.\nEn outre, l'accroissement des\narchives entra\u00eene un accroissement parall\u00e8le de la demande\npublique d'acc\u00e8s et d'utilisation. Looking to the Future\nConservation\nIn 1985-1986, a program \u00e9valua\ntion study identified the management, policy and planning\nrequirements needed to support\nthe development of a rational\nconservation program. The\nplanning and management\nframework will be implemented\nover this year and the next.\nPrime importance is to be attached to the preservation of\ncollections, and the provision\nof proper environmental conditions is the key factor in such\npreservation. This is to be supported on a continual basis by\ndepartmental and branch disaster contingency plans that\nwill provide protection coverage\nfor all departmental holdings,\nmaterial and facilities. The department is studying the nature\nand extent of the records that\nneed to be preserved in original\nform and those that can be disposed of after their essential\nhistorical evidence has been\ntranscribed. This data will be\nused in developing a long-term\nconservation plan and strategy.\nThe centralization in 1986 of all\npreventative and curative conservation activities into the\nConservation Branch and the\nincreased budgetary allocation\nfor this purpose will have an\nimpact on the National Archives\nof Canada's ability to fulfil its\nmandate in preserving the archival heritage of the country.\nPublic Service\nThe National Archives is intent\nupon facilitating historical research more as a provider of\nhistorical documentation for\nothers than as an interpreter of\nCanada's history. Advice, assistance and information are\noffered to individuals, groups\nand organizations interested in\nthis institution, and in its holdings, services and activities. It\nalso wishes to stimulate public\nawareness of the department's\nessential role in the preservation\nof our heritage and in the enhancement of our national\nidentity.\nThe National Archives intends\nto enhance its dialogue with its\nspecialist and general publics.\nExisting feedback mechanisms\nand the process of consulting\nwith user groups will be enhanced. A greater advisory role\nfor the public in the department's decision-making processes on archival matters will\nbe encouraged. It is hoped that\nthis will increase public awareness, provide the means of\ntesting the value of what the\ninstitution does, and assist in\ndetermining what might be\ndone.\nNew Initiatives\nThe February 1986 budget announced an additional budgetary allocation of $7 million to\nbe used towards the establishment of a Canadian Archival\nSystem, enhancement of activities in the areas of EDP archives\nand conservation, and for initiatives in the areas of public\nawareness. This increase represents an acknowledgement\nof the crucial role of preserving\nthe archival heritage of this\ncountry and the necessity for\nthe National Archives of Canada's enhanced involvement.\nA comprehensive acquisition\npolicy and precise selection\nstandards are essential to ensure that the department can\nconsistently fulfil its obligations\nin this regard. The Historical\nResources Branch will direct\nits attention to the formulations\nof selection standards documents covering all media in the\nprivate and public sectors. This\nprocess will include the development of guidelines at the\nbranch level in 1987 and the actual drafting of standards documents in 1988.\nRecords Management\nRecords management within the\ngovernment of Canada has\ntaken on new perspectives,\nparticularly as a result of recently revised policies embodied in Chapters 445 and 460 of\nthe Treasury Board's Administrative Policy Manual. These\npolicies, while clarifying the role\nand responsibilities of the National Archives, have necessitated adjustments to its operations such as the undertaking\nof an evaluation function to\nmonitor the state of records\nmanagement within the various\ninstitutions. Technological advancements are forcing further\nadaptations in records management principles and practices, including the use of automated systems to administer\nthe record keeping function. It\nwill be necessary to place increased emphasis on the management of automated cartographic and photographic\nrecords.\nAssistance to\nArchival Community\nWithin the national and international archival community\nthe department will be expected\nto maintain an active role. The\nnature and extent of that role,\nhowever, will require ongoing\nassessment in order to ensure\nequitable distribution and sound\nmanagement of the resources\nlikely to be available. Support\nand assistance activities will\nhave to be selected and carried\nout with care.\nConclusion\nThe National Archives has always been and will essentially\nremain a service institution. '\nSafeguarding rich treasures of\nour archival heritage, facilitating\nrecords management within\nthe government of Canada,\nsupporting and assisting the\narchival community, meeting\npublic demands for access to,\nand use of, our holdings, all fulfil our administration responsibilities of providing services to\nour sponsors and clients.\nThe challenge is to provide\ngood quality service in an appropriate balance of legitimate\nbut competing and complex\nconcerns. Faced with limited\nresources and unlimited demands, the department will\nhave to make hard decisions on\npriorities. Appropriate policies,\nplans and operations must be\nin place to ensure that the National Archives achieves optimum success in satisfying those\nit serves, and those to whom it\nis ultimately accountable.\nIncreased productivity will be\nthe key to the effective delivery\nof services. Accountable stewardship of the trust and resources given to the department\nis expected. It is hoped that\nresponsible management of our\nmost important resource \u2014\ndepartmental staff \u2014 along with\nefficient and economical use of\nour financial and material resources and the timely and appropriate adoption of new\ntechnology, will provide the\nmechanisms for achieving success. 81 Un regard vers Iavenir\ni\nConservation\nEn 1985-1986, une \u00e9tude d'\u00e9valuation de programme a iden-\nI tjfi\u00e9 les besoins sur le plan\nde la gestion, des politiques et\nde la planification n\u00e9cessaires\npour soutenir l'\u00e9laboration\nd'un plan de conservation\nrationnel.

Les Archives\noffrent de l'aide, des conseils\net des renseignements aux\norganisations, aux groupes et\naux particuliers qui s'int\u00e9ressent \u00e0 leurs fonds, services et\nactivit\u00e9s. Elles souhaitent \u00e9galement \u00e9veiller la conscience\npublique au r\u00f4le essentiel\nqu'elles jouent au niveau de\nla pr\u00e9servation du patrimoine\net de la mise en valeur de\nl'identit\u00e9 nationale.\nLes Archives nationales ont\npris le parti de favoriser le\ndialogue avec le public et les\nsp\u00e9cialistes, notamment en\nam\u00e9liorant les m\u00e9canismes qui\nleur permettent d'\u00e9couter les\nsuggestions du public et des\nchercheurs et en consultant\ndavantage les groupes d'utilisateurs. On encouragera le\npublic \u00e0 assumer un r\u00f4le consultatif plus important dans les\nprocessus d\u00e9cisionnels du\nminist\u00e8re, dans le but de sensibiliser le public, d'\u00e9valuer les\nservices des Archives nationales\net de contribuer \u00e0 la recherche\nde solutions.\nNouvelles initiatives\nUne allocation suppl\u00e9mentaire\nde 7 millions de dollars a \u00e9t\u00e9\nannonc\u00e9e dans le budget de\nf\u00e9vrier 1986. Cette somme est\ndestin\u00e9e \u00e0 \u00e9tablir un syst\u00e8me\ncanadien des archives, accro\u00eetre\nles activit\u00e9s dans les domaines\ndes archives informatiques et\nde la conservation, et encourager des projets visant \u00e0 sensibiliser le public. Cette augmentation est la preuve qu'on\nreconna\u00eet l'importance cruciale\nde la pr\u00e9servation du patrimoine archivistique national\net la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 pour les Archives\nnationales d'y jouer un r\u00f4le\naccru.\nIl est indispensable pour le\nminist\u00e8re d'avoir des politiques\nd'acquisition d\u00e9taill\u00e9es et des\nnormes de s\u00e9lection pr\u00e9cises\ns'il veut pouvoir s'acquitter de\nses obligations sur ce plan. La\nDirection des ressources historiques dirigera son attention \u00e0\nla formulation de \u00ab normes de\ns\u00e9lection \u00bb pou r tous les supports utilis\u00e9s par les secteurs\npriv\u00e9 et public. Ce processus\npermettra d'\u00e9laborer des lignes\ndirectrices en 1987 et de r\u00e9diger\ndes documents portant sur les\nnormes de s\u00e9lection en 1988.\nGestion des documents\nLa gestion des documents du\nGouvernement du Canada\npr\u00e9sente des perspectives\nnouvelles, surtout suite aux\npolitiques r\u00e9cemment r\u00e9vis\u00e9es\ndes chapitres 445 et 460 du\nManuel de la politique administrative du Conseil du Tr\u00e9sor.\nCes politiques, tout en \u00e9clairant\nle r\u00f4le et les responsabilit\u00e9s\ndes Archives nationales, ont\nexig\u00e9 l'adaptation de leurs\nactivit\u00e9s. Par exemple, il a fallu\nmettre sur pied une fonction\nd'\u00e9valuation pour surveiller\nla situation en mati\u00e8re de gestion de documents dans diverses institutions. Les progr\u00e8s\ntechniques entra\u00eenent de nouvelles adaptations dans les\nprincipes et les pratiques de\ngestion des documents, y compris l'utilisation de syst\u00e8mes\nautomatis\u00e9s. Il sera n\u00e9cessaire\nde mettre plus l'accent sur\nla gestion des documents automatis\u00e9s, des photographies et\ndes documents cartographiques.\nAide \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9\narchivistique\nLes milieux archivistiques du\nCanada et de l'\u00e9tranger s'attendent \u00e0 ce que le minist\u00e8re\nmaintienne son r\u00f4le actif.\nToutefois, la nature et la port\u00e9e\nde ce r\u00f4le seront constamment\n\u00e9valu\u00e9es pour assurer la distribution \u00e9quitable et la bonne\ngestion des ressources qui\nseront probablement disponibles. Il faudra porter une\nattention particuli\u00e8re \u00e0 la\ns\u00e9lection et \u00e0 la r\u00e9alisation\ndes activit\u00e9s d'assistance et\nde soutien.\nConclusion\nLes Archives nationales demeureront essentiellement\nune institution de service. En\neffet, en vertu de leur mandat,\nelles sauvegardent les riches\ntr\u00e9sors du patrimoine archivistique, elles faciIitent la gestion\ndes documents du Gouvernement du Canada, elles fournissent de l'aide et du soutien\nau milieu archivistique, elles\nr\u00e9pondent aux demandes du\npublic qui veut avoir acc\u00e8s aux\ndocuments et les utiliser, et\nelles s'acquittent de leurs responsabilit\u00e9s administratives.\nLe d\u00e9fi consiste \u00e0 fourni run\nservice de qualit\u00e9 raisonnable\ndans un \u00e9quilibre appropri\u00e9\nd'int\u00e9r\u00eats l\u00e9gitimes mais contradictoires. Face aux ressources limit\u00e9es et aux demandes illimit\u00e9es, le minist\u00e8re\ndevra prendre des d\u00e9cisions\ndifficiles sur le plan des priorit\u00e9s. Les Archives nationales\ndevront mettre sur pied des\npolitiques, des plans et des\nop\u00e9rations permettant d'offrir\nun service optimal \u00e0 leurs clients\net \u00e0 tous ceux \u00e0 qui, en derni\u00e8re analyse, ellesdoivent\nrendre compte.\nL'augmentation de la productivit\u00e9 est la cl\u00e9 permettant de\nfournir des services efficaces.\nLe public et le gouvernement\ns'attendent \u00e0 ce que le minist\u00e8re puisse m\u00e9riter la confiance\nqu'ils investissent en lui et\nrendre compte des ressources\nqu'ils lui allouent. Il faut esp\u00e9rer\nqu'une gestion responsable de\nla ressource la plus importante\n\u2014 le personnel \u2014, l'utilisation\nefficace et \u00e9conomique des\nressources mat\u00e9rielles et financi\u00e8res et l'adoption opportune\net appropri\u00e9e de nouvelles\ntechniques fourniront les cl\u00e9s\ndu succ\u00e8s.
