ISC is the custodian of the original Dominion Land Survey Field Books compiled by early surveyors who created the first subdivisions of land in the province in the 1870s to the early 1900s. There are over 8,000 field books and 21 index books with approximately 430,000 pages of historical information.  The handwritten notes and drawings contained within these books are fascinating to view. See sample.
