The records are arranged by case number, which can be found by using the indexes included in some of the plaint and procedure books or in series GR-2512 for 1913-1945. The records were scheduled for retention under Court Services ORCS (schedule 100152) 53200-20.

The series consists of the annual reports, publications and minutes of various health units in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions.

The series consists of the annual reports of the South Okanagan-Similkameen, the Cariboo, the Northern Interior, the North Okanagan, West Kootenay, Central Kootenay, East Kootenay, Skeena and Selkirk health units.

The Legislative Library of BC also has many of the same annual reports, and it is possible that any gaps in this series can be filled by their holdings. The annual reports provide statistics and overviews of matters of public health and safety.

The series also consists of the minutes of the South Okanagan-Similkameen Board of Health, and the Health Officers’ Council of British Columbia. The minutes document key decisions made by the Board.
