This series consists of reports that Professor Edmunds compiled at request of corporations, government departments, or private individuals. Most of the reports are concerned with mining possibilities and results, particularly oil and gas prospects on the Prairies. There is also a good deal of information concerning soil testing as well as data relating to mining procedures.

The studies in this series are designated as dealing with a specific area, although most of them were prepared for particular corporations. General provincial divisions are narrowed to include surveys of communities that are filed alphabetically under the general headings. There are also all-inclusive headings such as “Various Areas” which have been filed to constitute divisions distinct from the provincial headings. Professor Edmunds prepared the studies that are filed; information includes data on soils and minerals, reports, maps, graphs and general information relating to the particular areas involved.

This series consists of various well maps, area graphs, and soil graphs. Most of the diagrams are insufficiently labelled with regard to well and company name and, therefore, all the graphs and diagrams are filed in one folder.

This series consists of correspondence, research notes, and speeches and articles by Edmunds and others. Edmunds’s research notes pertain to: study of the Clwydian Range in North Wales, British studies, Canadian studies, and recession of ice from Saskatchewan.

This series consists of photographs, primarily of the Canadian landscape.

The reports in this series were found among the Edmunds papers although they were prepared by other individuals and companies.
