Note on oral sources:
Oral sources are usually contacted when documentary sources have been exhausted. However, oral sources must agree to be quoted in a publicly available Response to Information Request. If they refuse, the Response will read "no information currently available." Contacting oral sources is also subject to time constraints; for example, periods of the year when academics are unavailable.
Note on media on-line searches:
Please note that on-line searches, which require delays and involve significant costs, are not performed for every Response to Information Request. The nature and subject of the request will determine whether an on-line search of sources can be performed.
