    Administrative history

    The Central Exhibition Committee was established in 1871 to oversee the construction of Guelph's exhibition grounds. It was composed of four aldermen, from whom a chairperson was elected, plus the mayor. It is believed that this committee was dissolved in 1879 and that the management of the Central Exhibition grounds passed to the control of other public buildings management committees.

    Custodial history

    The custodial history of these records, prior to their transfer to the Guelph Public Library archives, is not known or documented. These records were transferred by the City Clerk's office to the Guelph Public Library archives, probably in the 1980's.

    Scope and content

    Series consists of one minute book of the Central Exhibition Committee. Included in this series are committee discussion and recommendations to Council regarding tenders for the construction of the exhibition grounds and facilities, the payment of accounts, and discussion on the permitted uses of the facilities. These records document the role that the Central Exhibition Committee played in the development of the city's public facilities and buildings.
