139. RG 24 Lieutenant Governor.
1867- . - 13 linear feet.
BACKGROUND.
In the early post-Confederation period, the Lieutenant-Governor
-- who was appointed and paid by the federal government,
but provided with lodgings, etc. by the province -- served
as a conduit between the federal government and Ontario.
He was thus an agent of the central government.
CONTENT.
The Records in this group are not complete for all Lieutenant
Governors. Researchers will also find that most relevant
material regarding Aboriginal people is in the records of
the Provincial Secretary (RG 8) -- since that official disbursed
the federal correspondence which was communicated through
the Lieutenant-Governor. Although there may well be more,
there is only one document of any immediate interest in
the finding aid:
RG 24 Series 2 Lt. Gov. William Pearce Howland. File 368
Correspondence from 22 August 1873 regarding
complaints of the Ojibwa of Lakes Huron and Superior about
unfulfilled provisions of the Robinson Treaties of 1850.
FINDING AID. Yes. See the RG 24 Inventory.
MICROFILM VERSION AVAILABLE? None.
ACCESS Open.
