VPRS 11224 Generation Victoria Records - Miscellaneous Indexes and Registers (PART RETURNED TO AGENCY, PART REPROCESSED 2018, SEE VPRS 13874 P2 and P3)

Full description

Background

Between 1995 and 1997 the Australian Science Archives Project (ASAP), a consultancy group specialising in scientific and technical records, were employed by SECV to identify records that SECV had allocated to Generation Victoria that could be:
- distributed to a new generation company;
- copied and distributed to several generation companies
;- retained by the SECV shell
;- transferred to PROV; or
- destroyed.

The records had come from a number of areas of SECV, were stored in diverse locations and had originally been created in a number of different recordkeeping systems used at different times in SECV. ASAP collected data on all records it examined and created a new database with new controls symbols allocated to all files. This enabled control to be exerted over the whole body of records with a single electronic database.

Nonetheless, original recordkeeping systems may be able to be identified within the whole body ofrecords. Some of those, specifically indexes and registers that were easily identified, are in this series. Others have been transferred to PROV in other series such as VPRS ZZZZZ, XXXXX , YYYYY and QQQQQ.
