VPRS 8894 Nominal Card Index to Inward Correspondence, Annual Single Number Sequence

Full description

This series was created to provide access to inward correspondence located in VPRS 8892 for the period 1919 to 1973. Although VPRS 8892 formally ended in 1971, the agency continued to create contract files under this system. Hence cards were created to index the contract files during the period 1971 to early 1973.

The index cards are arranged alphabetically by name of correspondent or organisation within each year. Divider cards indicating the alphabetical divisions are posted throughout the index.

The information recorded on the Index includes ;

Name of the correspondent
Date of letter
Registration number of the letter
Subject heading of the group under which the letter was filed
Remarks, for example, if the file was destroyed or top numbered into the subsequent multiple file numbering system.
