Immediate source of acquisition
Edward Phelps of the Phelps Publishing Company, London, Ontario, acquired most of the stock of the Insurers' Advisory Organization headquarters in Toronto in 1974 when the IAO closed its Plan Division. After selling much of his collection, Phelps offered a set of fire insurance plans for Canada to the University of British Columbia Library. This collection was received in 1982, and consists of plans for 600 Canadian cities and towns.
