Custodial history
Scope and content
The series consists of reports, agendas, briefing notes, correspondence and collections of news articles relating to the polygamist settlement at Bountiful, BC. The records were created between 2005 and 2007 by the Women’s and Seniors’ Policy branch of the Ministry of Community Services. Many of the records appear to have been collected in a call for responsive records in order to fulfill a Freedom of Information request. The published news articles appear to have been collected by Branch employees in attempts to monitor popular coverage of issues surrounding polygamy and the community at Bountiful. Some of the records also relate to potential legal action started by former members of the group.
