These records were accumulated by staff of the Department of Lands and Forest as a means of sorting and arranging otherwise unrelated records. If an individual document dealt specifically with a particular piece of property and did not fit within another record series it was placed within the Township papers. Even after the series was transferred to the Archives of Ontario, staff archivists continued to file miscellaneous material within the series.

The Immigration Agent at Kingston, Ontario kept a Return of Immigrants who landed at the Port between 1861 and 1882.

By the terms of the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act) of 1867, both the Department of Crown Lands and the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Province of Canada, as outlined in the "Act respecting the sale and management of Public Lands" of 1860, were continued as the Department of Crown Lands and the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Province of Ontario. Although the primary responsibility of the Department was the sale and management of public lands and the granting of land to settlers, it was also responsible for the mines, woods and forests of the province. In 1891, a Bureau of Mines, under a director, was established and attached to the Department. By 1895, a Bureau of Forestry, under the direction of the Clerk of Forestry (formerly responsible to the Commissioner of Agriculture and Arts), was also created and attached to the Department of Crown Lands. Immigration also came under the authority of the Department of Crown Lands in 1900, when the Bureau of Colonization was established. In 1905, legislation was passed which renamed the Commissioner of Crown Lands, the Minister of Lands and Mines. With this change, the Department of Crown Lands was also renamed the Department of Lands and Mines.

The compilation of cemetery recordings in Ontario is an ongoing project co-ordinated by the Ontario Genealogical Society (OGS). The majority of the recordings have been presented by the Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto branches of the OGS, although several individuals have also contributed to the collection.

Prior to 1966, the needs of, and on-going training for, professional social workers in the Kingston area had been addressed by such individuals having become members of the Kingston Branch of the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW). Over the preceding years, this local body had expanded to include social workers in the Counties of Lennox & Addington, Hastings, and Prince Edward and forthwith had become known as the Kingston-Quinte Branch. Then, by the mid 1960's, this Branch had extended itself yet again, to include social workers in Northumberland and Peterborough Counties. Consequently, the name was changed once more to the Kingston-Quinte-Kawartha Branch of the CASW.

At a June 1965 meeting, it was decided that as the distances to be traveled by members were becoming extremely problematic, the Branch would be split in two: a) the Quinte-Kawartha Branch, which would include social workers in the Counties of Peterborough, Northumberland, Hastings, Prince Edward, and Lennox & Addington; and b) the Kingston Branch. After some discussion, it was moved, and unanimously approved, that a request be forwarded to the Ontario Association of Professional Social Workers (OAPSW) -- now known as the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW) -- asking that the Kingston Branch be re-constituted as a Branch of the OAPSW to serve qualified social workers employed, or residing, in Frontenac County. A 'pro tem' slate of officers was elected and immediately formed itself into a Nominating Committee to present a slate of officers, once OAPSW approval for the re-constitution of the Kingston Branch had been received.

Thus the Ontario Association of (Professional) Social Workers - Kingston Branch came into existence in the Spring of 1966. Since that time, the Branch has strived to serve members in the Kingston region by providing leadership through the assertion of the role of social workers, by advancing their interests, and enhancing their contributions to social justice. It acts as a source of information and consultation on social work practice by publishing and disseminating relevant and pertinent information to its members and the public at large; and it encourages and assists members to develop the highest professional standards through on-going training sessions and workshops. The Kingston Branch also seeks to assist the region by undertaking studies of social problems and issues, and taking appropriate action in order to influence social policy and legislation, so that the well-being of area residents is protected.
