6.1 Telephones
This subseries consist of records relating to the Edmonton Telephones System.

6.2 Power / Light
This subseries consist of records relating to Edmonton Power, the power plants, and the provision of street lighting in the City.

6.3 Water and Sanitation
This subseries consist of records relating to the provision of water to citizens, the water treatment plants, dumps, the incinerator, and other waste management works.

6.4 Natural Resources / Fuels
This subseries consist of records relating to gas and oil contracts, coal mining and other provisions for providing heat and fuels within the city.

In the 1960s, the Archives and Landmarks Committee conducted oral history interviews of several Edmontonians including private citizens and retired City staff. When the City of Edmonton Archives was formed in 1971, the Archives took over the project and continued with the interviews, eventually expanding the scope of the project to encompass contemporary City Councillors and Mayors.

This series consists of records created by the various sections of the Edmonton Health Department and its successor bodies which were operated by nurses.

• Subseries 2.1: Committee Minutes
• Subseries 2.2: Program Review
• Subseries 2.3: Training and Resources

This series consists of reports created by the Edmonton Board of Health and the Health Department.

This series consists of the publications of the Old Strathcona Foundation as well as the publications of other institutions that formed the Foundation’s research library. The newsletters of the Foundation, as well as their longer-form periodical, the Strathcona Plaindealer, are included here. The Foundation also collected reports and publications from other institutions such as the City of Edmonton in an effort to advocate for the preservation of Old Strathcona’s history prior to amalgamation in 1912.

From the 1950s through to the 1970s it was not unusual for City departments to keep scrapbooks as a record of their activities. This series contains 34 scrapbooks of newspaper clippings relating to the business of the City of Edmonton, and specifically the Planning Department.

These records were created by the Heritage Planning Unit through their function of identifying and preserving historical buildings in Edmonton. The records include reports, publications, walking tours, correspondence, and operational files relating to the preservation of historical properties, including projects such as heritage surveys and inventories.

The series includes a full run of neighbourhood fact sheets documenting communities in Edmonton in the late 1980s and early 1990s (files 55-245). Also included are files containing information and correspondence around buildings of interest (files 296-1438), and buildings which have been demolished or moved from their original location (files 1590-1684).

Files 1685-1975 are designation files, and include information and correspondence related primarily to the conservation of properties which have been formally designated as Municipal Historical Resources.

Many files listed in the file list contain photographs documenting buildings.

This series contains subdivision files created by the City when land was subdivided. The files typically include applications, correspondence, and subdivision plans. The original filing systems have been retained. Subdivision files were typically identified by "year-X-number" and subdivision name.

Boxes 1-12
Between 1960 and 1965 subdivision files were arranged by year, then alphabetically by subdivision name.

Boxes 13-31
Between 1966 and 1974 subdivision files were arranged by year in zones (Yellow, White, Red, Green, and Blue).

Boxes 31-189
By the mid-1970s the subdivision files were arranged numerically by file number.

Boxes 190-196
At some point subdivision plans from 1973 to 1980 were removed from the files and stored them separately.

Boxes 197-201
These boxes contain subdivision files which had been removed from the original filing system and filed separately, alphabetically.

Boxes 201-243
These boxes contain subdivision files created by separate municipalities prior to the land being annexed by the City of Edmonton. These files were then transferred to the City for use by planners. The files are described using the Alberta Township Survey System and were generally arranged by the originating municipality.

Boxes 244-297
These boxes contain replot files, created when previously subdivided land had to be resubdivided by the City.

Boxes 298-315
These boxes contain a subdivision file index card reference system created by the department to keep track of subdivision applications and outcomes between ca. 1959 and ca. 1977. While much of the information is duplicated in the subdivision files, there are instances where the subdivision file has been lost and the index cards are the only source of information.

This series consists of Land Use Bylaw files. These files contain the records created through the process of amending zoning (generally 2135 Zoning Bylaw and, later, 5996 Land Use Bylaw) to allow for new development, including applications, correspondence, copies of bylaws, and other documentation.
