The C.O.T.C.’s administrative history is detailed in a series of Minutes and Reports which range from 1941-1959 (20.72 cm).

There is also a series of “Commissions for Lieutenants” signed by the Governor General/Surgeon General/Deputy Minister of Militias and Defence (1915-1916, 0.07 cm). The series Directories and Roll Calls details the names of C.O.T.C. members (1917-1946, 26.6 cm) and includes journal entries, orders and newspaper clippings. “Orders” records are comprised of three bound books and includes notices, marching routes, camp orders and newspaper clippings (1914-1929, 14 cm).
