Administrative history
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.
Custodial history
Scope and content
This collection contains miscellaneous documents about specific (not all) parcels of land, identified by lot and concession numbers, across southern Ontario from the earliest surveys to Confederation. They document activities on particular lands, including routine correspondence, survey information and some copies of formal instruments, dated mainly before the Crown grant was issued. The papers are filed by township, town or village. Within townships, they are arranged in numerical order by concession and within each concession by lot number. Within towns or villages, documents are arranged alphabetically by name of locatee.
