Subseries: 5D. Maps & Surveys,
1923-1968 : This subseries contains the files of the Department of Maps &
Surveys. Originally called the Department of Mathematical Geography,
this department was created in order to perform research into the
systematic and theoretical analysis of the methods used in geography, as
well as deal with specialized questions. The department also contributed
to the advancement of mapping techniques. It was created in order to
continue the work of the School of Geographical Surveying and Field
Astronomy, which had closed in 1931. The department was run by Osborn
Maitland Miller. This subseries is mainly comprised of his papers, which
include technical information and formulae, correspondence, articles,
notes, experiments, patent materials, and work done for the Alexander
Forbes book Northernmost Labrador, among
other projects.
