There have been five accruals. Three of the accruals are arranged into two major record groups: company records and manuscripts (editorial bundles). The company records are arranged into the following series: A President B President's Assistant C Editorial Department D Executive Vice-President F Controller G General ledgers H Sales records I Inventory J Marketing K Accounts Payable L Accounts Receivable (no records surviving) M Copy invoices and purchase orders (no records surviving) N Copy customer sales statements P Returns reports Q Computer source documents (no records surviving) R Computerized sales reports (no records surviving) S General Manager T Contracts, royalties, and permissions U Subsidiaries and Agencies V Canadian Centennial Library. Most of the records in series G, H, K, L, M, N and P of the first accrual were destroyed with the permission of the company. Researchers interested in Series A should also consult the Jack McClelland fonds.The first accrual of company records covers the period from 1948 to 1974 and measures 101.9 m. An addendum of materials (including the New Canadian Library) discovered in 1998 has been added to this accrual. Practically all of the company records prior to 1950 were destroyed by John McClelland. Before this was done, however, George L. Parker examined the records of the company for his doctoral dissertation and made notes. These notes are available to researchers (see below). In addition, researchers are directed to the Jack McClelland fonds, second accrual (09-1988) which contains some early materials beginning in 1904.The second and third accruals (1983 and 1985) of company records have been combined, with the exception of Series A. They cover the period 1975-1985 and measure 125.4 m. One box of the addendum mentioned above dates from this time period.The manuscripts (editorial bundles) cover the period from ca. 1965 to 1985 and measure 161 m.The fourth accrual (21-1990) consists of the Parker notes (see above) and measures 12.5 cm The fifth accrual (2-1994) consists of papers and plates for printing and engraving and measures .8 m.
