Subseries

---

• Just as subgroups/sous-fonds exist within groups/fonds, subseries can exist within series

• Essentially, a sub-series consists of records within a series that are readily identifiable as a subordinate or dependent entity on the basis of classification or filing, physical form or content.

• Example: Under the Department of Public Welfare, the series containing financial statements might be further broken down into subseries such as: audit reports; budget statements; general correspondence re audit reports, etc.

Example A: A Corporate Fonds
Example B: A Manuscript Fonds
