Originals 1883-1933 46 m
The duties and powers of the Premier of British Columbia
devolve from the practices and traditions of British
parliamentary government, and are nowhere clearly defined.
Indeed, the Constitution Act of 1871 and its revisions make no
mention of the office of Premier.
The Premier is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, and then
recommends to the Lieutenant Governor the appointment of other
officers of the executive council, who serve "at pleasure."
The Premier is the chief officer of the executive council, and
presides at meetings of the council.
The records in this unit were created and accumulated during
the administrations of Premiers William Smithe to Simon Fraser
Tolmie.
The records are broken down into fifteen series on the basis of
the form and/or filing system of the documents. A change in
government did not always result in a break in a series of
records, with the result that several series span more than one
administration. The fifteen series are listed in the table of
contents to this finding aid. Further information on
arrangement is given at the beginning of each series listing.
The records in this unit were kept on file in the Premier's
vault in the Legislative Buildings, and subsequently
transferred directly to the British Columbia Archives at
various dates.

SERIES I: INDEXES AND REGISTERS TO CORRESPONDENCE INWARD 1895-
1933
A variety of indexes and registers were created in the
premier's office between 1895-1933 to provide administrative
control of correspondence. These indexes and registers may now
be used to aid researchers in locating the desired information
on file in the Premier's Papers. Researchers should be aware
that a listing in one of the indexes or registers is no
guarantee that the letter can be found. Letters may have been
directed elsewhere, refiled or misfiled, or have gone missing
for reasons unknown. In addition, the series of indexes and
registers is not complete.
The indexes record the number assigned to the letter for
filing, the name of the correspondent and a brief account of
the subject of the letter. Before 1915, the name of the
correspondent or body in whose name the letter was addressed
was indexed alphabetically in separate listings for each year.
Subject listings were not indexed, but it is possible though
time consuming to scan the columns which list subjects.
Beginning in late 1915 at the inception of the Bowser
administration letters were filed either in a series of
numbered subject files, unnumbered subject files or in a series
of alphabetical files. A new subject filing system was
developed for the period 1930 - 1933.
The registers record letters as received, and list the number
assigned to the letter for filing, the name of the
correspondent and the subject of the letter.
Using either an index or a register, once one finds the number
or subject file number and year of a letter, the volume number
containing that letter may be found by consulting the listing
for the appropriate series in this finding aid.
All records are called by volume number. For example, GR
441/v.71 will call a box of semi-official correspondence for
1907- 1908.

SERIES II: OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE 1883-1915
This series contains official correspondence inward. In most
cases a copy of the reply is filed with the letter. If not,
the reply may be filed in the letterbooks of correspondence
outward. [See Series X, v. 381 - v. 401]
A detailed file list has been prepared for the period February
1883 to December 1910 and can be found in Appendix 2. The file
list is in two parts, each with a slightly different format.
The first (1883-1903), with the exception of Boxes 8 through
12 and Box 14, identifies, in addition to the writer, where
the correspondence originated and the date it was written. The
second (1903-1910) does not provide either, only a date range,
e.g. Jul-Dec 1903, into which the correspondence was grouped.
For Boxes 8-12 containing the official correspondence of two
premiers: J.H. Turner until 6 August 1898 and C.A. Semlin
thereafter. The file list consists of file numbers and subject
headings assigned at the time and written on the original file
folders. The list for Box 14 (Semlin correspondence only)
consists of the same information but the subject headings were
added by Archives staff.
Letters missing from the files (1902-1915) may be on file in
the subject files [Series V, v. 134-167].
With the exception of the letters in volumes1, 13 and 18, all
letters were filed in a numerical sequence and indexed
alphabetically by the name of the correspondent.

SERIES III: SEMI-OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE, 1907-1910
This series contains semi-official correspondence inward. In
most cases, a copy of the reply is filed with the letter. If
not, the reply may be found in the letterbooks of
correspondence outward. [See Series XI, v.402-403.]
All letters were filed in a consecutive numerical sequence and
indexed alphabetically by the name of the correspondent.

This series contains private correspondence inward of Premier
McBride. In some cases, the reply is on file. If not, the

, v.408], may be searched.
The indexes to this correspondence cover only the period 1903-
1906. After 1906, there is simply no way to search the records
other than reading the files themselves.
Letters were filed either alphabetically or numerically. Both
sorts of letters were indexed alphabetically. Researchers may
have to [search both sorts of files to find letters listed in
the indexes.]

SERIES VI: CORRESPONDENCE 1915-1929
This series contains correspondence inward. In most cases, the
reply is attached to the letter inward. There are no
accompanying letterbooks for the period of this series.
Letters were either filed in numbered subject files, in
miscellaneous alphabetical files by the name of the writer of
the letter, or in special files for memoranda, applications for
employment and other subjects not numbered. Some memoranda for
the period 1917-1925 may be found in Series VIII (v.335-353).
All of the correspondence, memoranda and subject files were
considered "official" records of the Administration. Where
records were considered "private" and not part of the
Administration, they are so noted.
Many files are missing especially from the early part of this
series.
By 1920 a pattern of subject headings was established. The
list of subject headings for the period 1920-1929 may be found
in the appendix section to this finding aid.
Some letters for 1928 and 1929 are on file in Series VII.

SERIES VII: Official Correspondence, 1930-1933
This series contains letters inward, with replies attached.
Though the filing system was apparently begun in 1931, letters
for 1930 (and in some cases letters for 1928 and 1929) are
incorporated in this series of files.
Filing is on a subject basis. The card indexes (volumes 379 -
380) give the file titles. All files were given a letter,
number, letter designation and filed alphabetically in three
groups. The first group is "D" or departmental files, the
second "F" or Federal files and the third "G" or General files.
Researchers should take note that a separate series of private
papers of Premier Tolmie is deposited at UBC Special
Collections, which has a file list but no index.

SERIES VIII: MEMORANDA, 1917-1925
This series contains intergovernmental memoranda. Some
memoranda for the same period, and for the years 1926-1929, are
on file in Series VI, volumes 168-291.
Filing is alphabetical, on the basis of the office or name of
the government official to whom the memorandum is addressed or
from whom it is received.
No separate file list to this series is available. The indexes
fox the period (volumes 377-378), which record all incoming
correspondence, may contain references to the memoranda in this
series.
