Biographical Sketch: James Clarence Graves (1861-1945) was born in Kings County, N.B. After a few years as a school teacher, he entered the service of the Intercolonial Railway in 1899 as a clerk in the Audit Department. In 1908 he was promoted to the position of Travelling Auditor. When he retired from the railway in 1932, he devoted his leisure time to genealogical and historical research. Horace B. Graves, son of James C. Graves, was a doctor who made his home in Vancouver, B.C. The compilation of research notes, "New Brunswick Political Biography", was a project begun by James C. Graves and completed a number of years later by Horace B. Graves.

Scope and Content: The Graves Papers consist of twelve volumes of biographical research on people who held political office or judicial positions in New Brunswick, or acted as representative of New Brunswick in the federal political or judicial areas, 1784-1969. There are also statistical records for various federal and provincial elections. In 1982, Diane Beattie compiled a List of the Dates and Total Number of Years Each Member of the Legislative Assembly Sat in the House which is held in this collection.

Arrangement reflects different levels and branches of government, as well as county divisions within New Brunswick. An alphabetical name index, created by the compilers, is available.
