The dates of this series are based on the dates of holdings.

Provenance:
All the archives of the Superintendent and Provincial Secretary Offices prior to 1856 were destroyed in a fire which burnt down the provincial government's office buildings.  After the abolition of the province in 1876 the archives of the Council, Superintendent, Secretary, and Treasurer seem to have been transferred directly to the Colonial Secretary's Department.  It is fairly certain they remained in the custody of this Department, however it does not appear that anyone ever examined them.  No inventory of the archives was made before 1919.  From this Department (later known as the Department of Internal Affairs) the majority of the archives were transferred to the National Archives at various dates, between 1926 and 1952.  The archives of the Provincial Engineer, Solicitor, and other provincial officials are missing without trace.
