The locating method for Canada-US treaties vary depending of the publication source of each treaty (see description of the collection). To access the text of a treaty for which you know the complete or partial reference, choose the appropriate Series first and then enter the locating information that you possess in the other locating fields, Volume [or year], Number or Page.

It is never necessary to fill all the locating fields. It depends of the selected collection. The following table indicates for each collection, with the help of examples, the relevant fields to fill in order to find a document.

The irrelevant locating fields are ignored by the search engine, and therefore filling them is of no consequence on the search results.
