File of documents consist of a mixture of internal government reports, including reports prepared by consultants, superseded manuals, and training manuals. Most deal with soil conservation in forestry settings, but there is a report on soil conservation in relation to agricultural soils which Paul Sanborn did under contract to Agriculture Canada in 1991.
