The series consists of the Ministry of Human Resources executive director records created between 1971-1980 in British Columbia. The records relate primarily to child welfare and other related responsibilities within the Family and Children’s Services Division of the ministry. Some of the records were created and received by the ministry’s predecessor, the Department of Human Resources. The records document family support services, child welfare services, and the operation of three institutions that care for individuals with disabilities: Woodlands, Tranquille, and Glendale. The ministry’s service delivery model was organized on a regional basis, defined by geographic area. Records document the regional delivery of programs related to adoptions, foster homes, family support homemakers, and rehabilitation services for children. Records from other divisions in the ministry relate to income assistance, health care, rehabilitation and support services, and seniors’ services. Governing legislation includes the Adoption Act (RSBC 1986, c. 5), Protection of Children Act (RSBC 1967. c. 38) and the Social Assistance Act (RSBC 1973, c. 81), among others. Some of the records document the transfer of all property, functions, and employees of the Vancouver Resources Board (VRB) to the provincial government.

The series is arranged alphabetically by topic and some of the series is arranged by the executive director's initials: R.K. Butler; T.D. Bingham; R.J. Burnham; and S.G. Travers. Some of the records also contain an additional file code. The records consist of correspondence, reports, meeting materials, and program and policy documents.
