This collection contains miscellaneous documents about specific (not all) parcels of land, identified by lot and concession numbers, across southern Ontario from the earliest surveys to Confederation. They document activities on particular lands, including routine correspondence, survey information and some copies of formal instruments, dated mainly before the Crown grant was issued. The papers are filed by township, town or village. Within townships, they are arranged in numerical order by concession and within each concession by lot number. Within towns or villages, documents are arranged alphabetically by name of locatee.
