Biographical history

Custodial history
Scope and content
The series consists of timber sale harvesting licences (TSHL) from the Port Alberni Forest District. Timber sale harvesting licences were first introduced in 1967 and provided individuals and businesses with a permit to cut a volume of timber. This series documents the Government’s administration of timber licences during the period of 1970-1982.
The series contains records for TSHL’s A00633 and A02810. There are multiple files for each TSHL and each file corresponds to specific cutting permit. Each file contains correspondence, reports and may also contain maps of the cutting area. The files also contain the TSHL application, cutting permit, timber value appraisals and reappraisals, stumpage rate notices, cutting plan maps, and inspection reports.
The ministries that were responsible for this function are:
1970-1975 Dept. of Lands, Forests and Water Resources
1975-1976 Dept. of Forests
1976-1980 Ministry of Forests
The records have been classified as 19590-45 in the Forest Operational Classification System (ORCS).

General note
Timber sale harvesting licences are different from timber sale licences (TSL). TSHL’s provide the right to cut a volume of timber whereas TSL’s provide the right to cut in a geographic area.
