The files cover all areas of the Province and were created in accordance with the Forest Act (RSBC 1996, c. 157). The Province is divided into two appraisal regions for the purposes of stumpage. These regions are the Coast and Interior and each of these is documented in separate reports.
Most of the reports document the mean value index for timber and help forecast the revenue to the province. The reports have a wide range of information and include district summaries, rate calculations arranged by district, value of species, and mark volume.
The ministry ran reports from January, April, July and October. Each report is dated and named and there are also coloured sheets of paper at the front of each file that correspond with the month of the report. Blue sheets are from January, green sheets are from April, pink sheets are from July and yellow sheets are from October. The records arrived in the archives in no discernible order. The archives has arranged them by date and region.
These records are classified as 21710-30 in the Forest ORCS which states that the records are retained for seven years by the ministry and then transferred to the archives.
