The series consists of records relating to the development of land and resource management plans (LRMPs) vis-à-vis the consultation that occurred with First Nations during the planning process. Land and Resource Management Planning was developed in British Columbia in the 1990s as an integrated, sub-regional, consensus-building process to produce plans for review and approval by government. The plans established direction for land use and specified broad resource management objectives and strategies. LRMPs covered a number of resource sectors -- natural or social resources such as tourism, forestry or mining. The process included development, implementation, monitoring and the amendment of land and resource management plans.

The files in this series were titled and organized in most instances as case files and based on the name of the First Nations involved in the consultation process.

The records relate to the development of the consultation process between ministries and First Nation groups for LRMPs which included preparing terms of reference, conducting research and assessments, compiling and analyzing data, consulting with interested parties, presenting plan drafts, taking the proposed plan through the approval process, and monitoring after implementation.

Record types include correspondence, memoranda, recommendations including legal advice, discussion papers, draft agreements for discussion, presentations, community meeting records, maps, plans, drafts of agreements between the Province and First Nations, briefing notes prepared for the Minister and Deputy Minister, forest company information, among numerous other types of records.

The Archives has retained these records because they provide evidence of provincial policy advice and direction for the management of public lands and resources, and evidence of the consultation that occurred with First Nations groups during the resource planning process.

The series consists of records relating to the Supreme and County Courts of Lytton, as well as some records relating to the local government commissioner. The records date from approximately 1858 to 1887, with a single note from 1920 indicating that one record was used as an exhibit in a court case. Records in this series may have been initially found at the County Court offices in Lytton, although their provenance is unclear and the records relate to all levels of court matters. The series consists of correspondence, summonses, financial documents, case records, search warrants, affidavits, bail bonds, writs, oaths for coroner’s inquests, and depositions of witnesses. The series includes letters written by, and about, Mr. Peter O’Reilly, as well as a telegraph sent by Joseph Trutch. Correspondence covers a wide variety of topics, including settler-First Nations relations, local crime, the appointment of special constables, and the issuance of trading licenses. The records are fairly geographically limited in scope, and center on Lytton and Spence’s Bridge.

The records were found in the Provincial Museum storage in the 1980s, and were originally part of accessions G80-076, which includes land records relating to the Yale area, and G86-081, which includes Supreme and County court records relating to Richfield, Vancouver, and Victoria. However, the records were removed from this accession in 2004 and at that time, archivists classified the records as their own series. It was also possibly at this time that the records were arranged into folders based on the year of creation. All 1858 records have been grouped together, all 1860 records together etc, despite the fact that the records in the folders appear to have little relation to each other. Although every effort has been made to provide descriptive and accurate file titles, due to the disparate nature of the records, researchers are strongly encouraged to examine the files themselves.
