Gordon Secretary of State, Ottawa. Ottawa, February 20, 1950. Bradley, Sir,—I have the honour to submit herewith the Annual Report of the Public Archives for the year 1949. A large number of interesting items were added to the collections during the year, and the more important of these are listed in the notes describing the activities of the various Divisions. The principal appendix to the Report consists of a substantial instalment of the calendar of the Nova Scotia State Papers. Only a small portion of this calendar now remains to be printed. The appendix also includes a Guide to the calendars and descriptive lists of series and collections that are available in either printed or manuscript form. This should prove to be a great convenience to the many persons who have occasion to consult material in the Manuscript Division. Respectfully submitted, Wm. Kaye Lamb, Dominion Archivist.
