Summary:
In 1950, a survey was conducted of inactive records filed with the Department of Audit and Control with only a 5 per cent sample preserved. Historical records from the sample were inadvertently taken for disposal to Quebec, Canada; about one-third of which were recovered. This series consists of inventory reports; correspondence; articles and other materials documenting this survey and the resulting disposition of those records. Most material pertains to records recovery activities.
