Information Received from Canadian Archives

OAS is an abbreviation for "On Active Service" - referring to someone's departure from employment to serve with the Canadian Army.

The Post Offices & Postmasters database has been created from a series of postal history record cards (RG 3, vols. 3484-3536) documenting changes of postmasters at individual post offices located across Canada. Beginning in the early 1950s, the preparation of the cards was undertaken by the Public Affairs Unit using the files and letterbooks that were eventually turned over to the National Archives of Canada (RG 3, series B-2 and D-3). Postal history cards for all provinces have been entered into the database and originals have been withdrawn from consultation for preservation purposes. The original register to the reports for the years 1875-1902 has not survived.

The information found in the database comprises all the information found on the cards. Library and Archives Canada do not hold personnel files for Postmasters.
