Production Staff Files.

This is a smaller series consisting of proofreading and verification files, translator files, and the Biography Editor's files. Galley entries were proofread, and facts in articles had to be verified to ensure accuracy. Publishing rights to The Canadian Encyclopedia were given to a Quebec publisher so the volumes could be translated into French. A Biography Editor, Mary Maude, was responsible for organizing the biography entries that were a part of every topic area. The Biography Editor worked closely with the Senior Editors to determine candidates for biographical entries in the Canadian Encyclopedia. The files are textual and in good shape.

The Production staff files have been arranged into the following three sub-series: Biography Editor's files; Proofreading and Verification files, and Translation files. The series is a small series, but important for revealing more of the staff structure necessary to such a large publishing project. There is a lot of correspondence, memoranda, contracts, entries with verification notes, and edited biographical entries.
The series title is based on the content of the records.
