VPRS 15757 Index to General Correspondence Files, Alpha-Numeric System, Corporate Resources Unit

Full description

This series comprises a file classification list to general correspondence files maintained by the Corporate Resources unit of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (VA 4411).

This classification system was based on an alpha-numeric arrangement.

All files, previously kept in subject based lever-arch folders were incorporated into the new system. This series included files created by the Corporate Resources unit of Cinemedia (VA 4117) which was an administrative predecessor of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. As a result, the date range of the contents of this series pre-dates the creating agency's date range. It appears that this system was introduced sometime in 2003 when, in the absence of the central records management system, a number of business units established their own file classification schemes in order to maintain a better control over their records.

Physical files were identified by an allocated alpha-numeric code only. File classification details were not included on file covers.
