For the Record is a Canadian television drama anthology series that aired on CBC Television from 1976 to 1985.[1] The series aired docudrama-style television films on contemporary social issues, typically airing between four and six films per year.[2]

After a nearly decade run, the series was cancelled in 1985, although the CBC opted to continue commissioning similar television films as standalone productions, beginning with 1986's Turning to Stone.[3]
