Fisheries and Environment POches et Environnement I Canada Canada Fisheries Service des peches and Marine Service et de la mer Fisheries and Marine Service Manuscript Reports These reports contain scientific and technical information that represents an important contribution to existing knowledge but which for some reason may not be appropriate for primary scientific (i.e. Journal) publication. They differ from Technical Reports in terms of subject scope and potential.audience: Manuscript Reports deal primarily with national or regional problems and distribution is generally restricted to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. No restriction is placed on subject matter and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of the Fisheries and Marine Service, namely, fisheries management, technology and development, ocean sciences and aquatic environ- ments relevant to Canada. Manuscript Reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report will be abstracted by Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and will be indexed annually in the Service's index to scientific and technical publications. Numbers 1-900 in this series were issued as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Biological Board of Canada, and subsequent to 1937 when the name of the Board was changed by Act of Parliament, as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 901-1425 were issued as Manuscript Reports of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. The series name was changed with report number 1426. Details on the availability of Manuscript Reports in hard copy may be obtained from the issuing establishment indicated on the front cover.

ABSTRACT
Simpson, K. S., J. R. Carmichael, and C. Groot. 1978. Index to the Pacific Biological Station archives. Fish. Mar. Serv. MS Rep. 1443: 95 p.
An archives has been established at the Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo, B.C., to make unpublished and original data safe and accessible. The archives presently comes from P.B.S. salmon investigations only. Access is by permission of the original investigator or the Director. This report provides a storage location index for material which is described by species, life stage, geographic area, and date.
Key words: Index, Archives, Salmon Studies, British Columbia.
I I RESUME
Simpson, K. S., J. R. Carmichael, and C. Groot. 1978. Index to the Pacific Biological Station archives. Fish. Mar. Serv. MS Rep. 1443: 95 p.
La station de biologie du Pacifique de Nana!mo, en C.-B., a mis sur pied un service d'archives afin d'assurer la conservation des donnees et de les rendre accessibles. Actuellement, seuls les resultats de ses recherches sur le saumon y figurent. Pour les consulter, il faut obtenir la permission du chercheur qui les a fournis ou du directeur. Le present rapport renferme un index derangement des donnees classees selon l'espece, le stade de vie, l'aire geographique et la date.
Mots cles: Index, documentation, recherches sur le saumon, Colombie-Britannique. INTRODUCTION
There is a large amount of unpublished and original data at the Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo, B.C., collected in the course of studies on Pacific salmon. Its nature and many locations have never been documented, making much of it inaccessible. Several instances have occurred where valu able data have been lost. These are the reasons for the formation of an archives and the production of this index.
The immediate goal is to index and store in one location all data, notes, diaries, etc., from past and present Station salmon investigations once the authors are no longer actively using it. Since this project was initiated by the Salmon Enhancement Group, the present data is confined to salmon studies. We hope that all aspects of Station work will be included eventually. The long-range objective is to incorporate some of the material into a computer data acquisition-retrieval system which would include data from all Pacific Region fisheries agencies, federal and provincial.
The archives are in the storage area in the basement of the Taylor Building. Until formal arrangements have been made and a Station policy set, access and use of the data will be by permission of the investigator. Permis sion of the Director, Pacific Biological Station, is required if the investi gator is no longer available. Some data collected by Station investigators came from other sources, e.g., Fisheries Operations and U.S.A. fisheries agencies. In this case, the usual rules for use of scientific material apply. Borrowed documents must be signed out and their location marked with an out file card.
INDEX GUIDE
The index is arranged in nine sections: a "Salmon - General" section written in narrative format; one section for each salmon species (arranged alphabetically); one section for "Other Fish Species"; a section with environmental and invertebrate sampling data; and finally, a section containing miscellaneous information (e.g., diaries). The material within each section is grouped by broad geographic area in the following order:
Skeena River North and Central Coast Vancouver Island Southern Mainland Fraser River B.C. Coast - General Alaska Continental U.S.A. Asia High Seas - 2 -
Entries are roughly classified by local area, author, and year within these geographic groupings. An explanation of table headings is given below with part of a typical page as a reference.

It is important to realize that (1) the archives material remains as it was originally placed in storage by the authors, i.e., there has been no rearrangement of files to consolidate material; and (2) the records often mad~ it impossible to obtain an accurate description. Consequently, we advise the user to examine any data with an index entry approximately corresponding to what he is looking for. The author, if available, may be able to help him identify the data and assess its usefulness.
Concerning the material located in offices, this is only the saLmon material which investigators have listed with the archives. Much more data exists at the Pacific Biological Station pertaining to salmon.
