Colección F2251 - Central Superintendency, Tyendinaga Research collection

The collection consists of selected records, specifically concerned with the local Mohawk Territory of Tyendinaga, from the Correspondence and General Land records series of the Central Superintendency. Included are letters received at the Toronto office of the Central Superintendency, 1845-1877. Volume 1161 (MF 6096) contains two dockets, dated 1877 dealing with timber rights and treaty registration. Volume 761 (MF 6092) is a record of registered letters received at the Toronto Office, 1868-1871. Volume 1043 (MF 6095) is a register of letters received, 1876-1877; unfortunately, this latter register is only partially accurate. The main set of correspondence is found in Volumes 405-435 (MF 6067-6087). This correspondence has been arranged alphabetically by name of letter author (although not all letters by the same author are filed continuously) within year ranges. As such, the arrangement disregards the letter numbering system originally devised by the records creators and records keepers to manage and retrieve the correspondence. Volumes 740-744 and 746 (MF 6090-6091), collectively, are an Abstract of letters received, which forms an index to this set of correspondence.
