Scope and content
The series consists of correspondence, memoranda, notes, itineraries, photographic contact sheets, and background information relating to appointments, events and trips, including Premier’s trips and those of visiting delegations. The records provide evidence of the creation of the Premier’s daily schedule and were created between 1983 and 1996. Records in this series relate to Premiers Vander Zalm, Bennett and Harcourt. Records relating to specific trips are arranged by event. Many of the records pertain to trips to China and Japan. Records relating to requests for appointments with the Premier are arranged alphabetically and by year. The series also includes 5 volumes of the Premier’s daily journal dating from 1976 to 1980. The series also includes a small number of negatives and slides relating to various events as well as two film copies of the promo for the film “Partners in Enterprise : Opening Doors.” Itineraries for Premier Harcourt often include briefing notes, memos, and other supplementary information, and provide instructions on the day's proceedings.
Records in this series are covered by ORCS 14500-01 and 14500-02 of schedule 8810099 (Office of the Premier and Executive Council Operational Records Classification System).
