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.

John Diefenbaker entered the University of Saskatchewan College of Law in 1916, and was called to the Saskatchewan Bar in June, 1919. Upon graduating he opened a private practice in Wakaw, Saskatchewan and carried on a busy practice until 1924 when he moved to Prince Albert. The Wakaw office was managed by a succession of partners until its closure in 1929. Diefenbaker worked privately and in partnership until the early 1940s when he established a partnership with John Cuelenaere. They were joined by Roy Hall in 1947 and by Clyne Harradence in 1955. After his election to the House of Commons in 1940, legal material was forwarded to Ottawa. This arrangement continued until 1956 when he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, and he thus gave up his legal practice. Diefenbaker became a King’s Counsel in 1929, and was also a member of the Bars of Alberta, British Columbia and Upper Canada.
