Part of Norman A.M. MacKenzie fonds
The Wartime Information Board was established in 1942 to coordinate the government's existing public information services and supervise the release of information in or to any country outside of Canada. The Board wound up operations in September 1945.
The material covered 1942-1945 and was divided into two sections: 1942, 1944 and 1944-1945, when the Wartime Information Board became the Canadian Information Service. The two sections are independent of each other, and their different filing systems have been maintained. Each box contains correspondence much is of a general, functional nature and does not represent the official Chairman's correspondence. There are also minutes and working papers of the W.I.B./E.I.S., the Canada Aid to Russia and the Rehabilitation Committee. It is only through the minutes and working papers that the actual operation of the Board is reflected.
