Rosedale Archival Records Prepared by OAC / TAC Volunteers Annotated Box Listing Prepared by Sally Gibson October 2013
1 Rosedale Archival Records prepared by OAC / TAC Volunteers Annotated Box Listing prepared by Sally Gibson October 2013 Editorial Note: Records were created between about 1976 and 2004.Volunteers originally envisioned publishing six books, containing a total of 24 walks that covered both South and North Rosedale. This goal shaped how the records were organized. However, there are no key maps or descriptions of the walks. Moreover, the walk numbers changed over time, which complicates understanding the records. The box numbers are arbitrary, being assigned to facilitate description and retrieval. Titles in boldface tend to be titles found on the files or other containers. Some entries are annotated with additional information or questions raised. TAC Volunteers adopted a broad approach to their subject. They researched not only individual houses, but also the entire development process, from crown grants, through subdivision plans (highlighted), to construction and subsequent redevelopment. They also researched pioneer life, city services, bridges, schools, churches, parks, recreation grounds, horticulture and transportation, as well as prominent developers, architects and home-owners.
