NRS-22450 | Agenda and Papers for State Rail Authority Board Meetings

Full description

This series consists of agenda papers and documents prepared for Board meetings and circulated to members prior to meetings. Some folders include minutes of the previous scheduled meeting, as well as minutes for any meetings, e.g. special meetings, held since the last scheduled meeting. In some cases, two sets of documents are held: those of the Chairman, Mr A Carmichael, and of the Secretary, Mr R C Ford, which have been annotated.

Custody History

From 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an 'in house archives' consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the 'State Rail Archives' the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.

This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R81. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R81 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.
