This series consists of reports and publications not produced by the Edmonton Social Planning Council (E.S.P.C.) or any of its divisions or committees. In its role as a research organization, the Edmonton Social Planning Council maintained an extensive library of records for use in social research. The E.S.P.C. would provide individual members and member organizations with access to these materials. Materials include reports published by both government and non-governmental organizations.

This series consists of a variety of records concerning projects the Edmonton Social Planning Council (E.S.P.C.) and its numerous committees were involved in or concerned with. The projects concern social issues such as the needs of the elderly, community services and development, child welfare and day care services, the Christmas Bureau, the development and support of cooperatives, community schools, services for people with physical disabilities, services for homeless people, women’s shelters, Indigenous and Metis welfare, poverty, rehabilitation, and more. In some cases the E.S.P.C. was the primary driving force behind a project while in other cases it provided support to other organizations’ projects. The types of records included in this series include minutes, correspondence, memorandums, reports, proposals, and studies. The records provide insight into the social issues the E.S.P.C. was concerned with as well as how it worked to address them. In addition, the records help paint a picture of how the E.S.P.C. and its role within the community changed over time.

This series contains materials concerning the operations and functions of the Garneau Lawn Bowling Club. The club was officially founded in 1955. The Lawn Bowling Club was one of the five original committees when the Garneau Community League was incorporated in 1962. The Lawn Bowling Club, like the Tennis Club, held a degree of independence from the Community League until the late 1970s due to a change in Provincial Law regarding the way financial reporting was to be conducted. The Club was divided into two clubs: Men’s Lawn Bowling and Ladies Lawn Bowling. The Men’s Lawn Bowling Club concluded operations in 1983 while the Ladies Lawn Bowling Club continued. The reason for the closure of the men's club was dwindling membership due to the construction of superior lawn bowling greens at the Commonwealth Lawn Bowling Club following the 1978 Commonwealth Games. The rest of the lawn bowling club ended in 1990 due to insufficient funds to maintain the greens. Some of the remaining club members joined the Royal Lawn Bowling Club. When Catalyst Theatre began its lease of the Community Centre, the greens were converted into sand volleyball courts. This series consists of financial statements, a ledger, correspondence, club minutes, photographs, badges, pins, and a championship flag.
