        Department of Public Works Annual Reports, 1951-1972; Ministry of Government Services Annual Reports, 1973-1995. The Personnel Office appears in phone books in 1962, we do not have earlier versions. It does not appear in annual reports until 1965. The Guide to Services of the Ontario government never mentions this agency. Therefore, it may have existed before 1962 but no published sources exist to confirm this.
