The result is a varied collection of textual and graphic records documenting a wide span of the history of Edmonton Power and its predecessors. The material includes reports, photos, publications, and drawings relating to the generation and distribution of power to Edmontonians.

The bulk of this series consists of oversize residential and commercial plans. To impose order, the residential plans were separated according to those with a client name attached (and location if both are present); those with a location only attached, and general plans without identifying details. Within these categories, the plans were further organized chronologically. The same process was used for organizing the proposed commercial plans, although chronology was not as easy to establish. There is one file of advertising material.

The Interim Development Bylaw (Bylaw 1339) was passed in 1950. It was created to guide and regulate development in Edmonton until a General Plan and new zoning bylaw could be adopted. The bylaw created the Interim Development Appeal Board, which took appeals from any decision made by the Interim Development Officer, including related to zoning. The Board had seven members appointed by Council, and included a City Alderman, a member of the Alberta Association of Architects, a member of the Alberta Land Surveyors Association, a member of the Edmonton Real Estate Association, a member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Alberta, a member of the Law Society of Alberta, and a member at large. The Board endeavored to make decisions to best promote orderly, economical, and convenient development in conformity with the basic principles of the evolving General Plan. The Appeal Board could refer cases to the Architectural Panel or Technical Planning Board when more information was required, and decisions of the Board could be appealed further to the Provincial Planning Advisory Board.
