The Provincial Building fonds consists of a record book for the Provincial building, serving as a record of work attendance and hours and later shifting to a record of specific work done. The Provincial Building was erected in The Pas as a one-storey facility in 1958 – 1959, with the second floor added in 1969 – 1970. The Provincial Building was the site of the Province of Manitoba’s first administrative headquarters for the North. The building initially housed several departments and branches: health, agriculture, labour, forestry, lands, game & fish, as well as a small tourist information office. The Provincial Building still houses a number of provincial government departments and services including Conservation, Family Services & Housing, Health, Aboriginal & Northern Affairs, Agriculture, Food & Rural Initiatives, and Culture, Heritage & Tourism.
