This series contains copies of collective bargaining agreements negotiated in British Columbia from 1960-1975 and 1979-1995. These agreements were kept by the Labour Relations Branch, part of the Department of Labour and its successors. Most agreements were kept in its library for reference and research purposes. Under section 52 of the Labour Relations Code, parties to a collective agreement were required to file a copy with the Labour Relations Board.

Most of the agreements were negotiated under British Columbia labour legislation but copies of agreements negotiated under federal legislation may also be included. This collection does not purport to include a copy of every collective agreement negotiated in the province during this time period, but it does include the bulk of agreements.

This series contains official correspondence, reports, and related papers of Premier John H. Turner. Records include correspondence pertaining to provincial railway charters (1893-1897), agriculture, and mining; also includes B.C. Agent-General's Report (1895), applications for employment, and miscellaneous letters.

Papers in this series are those of the Honourable John Herbert Turner (1833-1923), premier of British Columbia from 4 March 1895 to 8 August 1898. Since Turner's administration was characterized by rapid industrial development (notably in railways, mining, and agriculture), and by no little political controversy, his official papers are especially valuable.

Most of the reports and correspondence in GR-1197 originated while Turner was the province's chief minister and, as such, they have been included in the archive's collection of Premier's Papers. As will be seen, though, some of the papers pertain to Turner's tenure as Minister of Finance and Agriculture, a portfolio he held from 1887 to 1898.

GR-1197 may be regarded as a supplement to GR-0441 (British Columbia - Premier: 1883-1933), Series II, volumes 2-13, which also contains official correspondence of Premier Turner. Researchers may find that Volume 354 of GR-0441 (Index to Official Correspondence, 1895-1897) will assist them in locating other related records.
