The fonds consists of correspondence, memoranda, reports, agreements, registers, lists, ledgers, plans, drawings, and photographic prints documenting all of the Department's functions except housing. The records are arranged into six series by functional area:;Series I. Administration Files. Series II. Tax Recovery Files. Series III. Sales Files. Series IV. Acquisitions Files. Series V. Property Management Files. Series VI. Development Files. These series have various sub-series under each according to the subject, type of document or arrangement in a filing system. Some of the sub-series posses no identifiable arrangement where as others are arranged alphabetically or chronologically. Between 1963 and 1964, the Land Division introduced a new system for filing its records. Block numbering classifications for sales (8-000), acquisitions (7-000), tax recovery, and development were assigned. The arranging archivist has assigned arbitrary file numbers to the files. Where original file numbers existed, these have been listed as well. Oversize plans have been placed in map cabinets and are identified by a M000nnn number. Photographic prints are identified by a PP000nnn number.
