Custodial history
The records have been held by the various Registrars in their offices and have either been transferred from the outgoing Registrar to his successor or have been transferred to the Synod office. Some registrar's records from the 1930s may have been destroyed by the fire. Registrar's files have been transferred to the Archives in 1990. Previous to this date, a large body of records were transferred from John Evan Spencer, Registrar of the Diocese, to the Synod Office in 1975 upon his retirement from that position. Spencer had, in turn, acquired the files of Russell Theodore Dumoulin after the latter retired in 1967 from being Registrar. The bulk of the records originate from R. T. Dumoulin, as evident from the file folder abbreviations "RTD" while those with yellow labels, commonly beginning with the general heading "The Synod of the Diocese of New Westminster", were opened and added by John Spencer. Other files relating to property dealings and other legal matters were added to this body of records by Synod Office administrators.
