Indexed in: A nominal card index known as the Upper Canada Land Index, finding aid 1802, serves both these Upper Canada land petitions (RG 1, L3) and the land books (RG 1, L1, Special Collections - Microfilm FC 161 C22 1951). It is available as Special Collections - Microfilm HD 319 05 P83 1981. Summary Series consists of the petitions and related records submitted to the Executive Council Office of the Province of Upper Canada from 1791 to 1841 and to the Executive Council Office of the Province of Canada from 1841 to 1867. The arrangement of the Upper Canada Land Petitions preserves the original alpha-numeric reference assigned by the Clerk of the Executive Council. This alpha-numeric filing system, established in the late 1790s, is based on a close correlation between the petitions and the land minute books (available as Special Collections - Microfilm FC 161 C22 1991). The alpha-numeric references are based on the initial letter of the petitioner’s surname, or corporate name (the "bundle letter") and the sequence in which the petition was presented to the land committee (the "petition number"). Following the union of Upper and Lower Canada in 1841, the Clerk of the Executive Council of the Province of Canada continued the filing system developed in Upper Canada. The petition numbers reflect the order in which cases were considered and decided upon by the land committee. Within the series itself, each volume of petitions is prefaced by a list of petitioners.
