VPRS 9604 Register of File Numbers for Alphabetically Re-arranged Inactive Portion of pre 1928 General Correpondence Files (Refer to Microfiche Copy, VPRS 14628)

Full description

This series was first created by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission (VA 723) to list inactive files upon their separation from the original recordkeeping system. The first part of the Register was created sometime in 1928, when all alphabetically arranged inactive and closed files, were allocated sequential numbers which were later superseded by a new numerical sequence as recorded in the later parts of the same Register and in the newly created Register of General Correspondence Files (Alphabetically Re-arranged Inactive Portion of pre 1928 files), Single Number System, VPRS 9474.

Both these series provided access to and facilitated retrieval of inactive files removed from the original recordkeeping system. This collection of inactive files was later serialised as VPRS 3844 General Correspondence Files (Alphabetically Re-arranged Inactive Portion of VPRS 6008, pre 1928 files), Single Number System.

Relevant parts of VPRS 9604 (this series) and VPRS 14628 - its microfiche copy - listed files in O.S. (old system ?) and old file number order and provided cross references to new file numbers. VPRS 9474 did the same in reverse.

It is not necessary to use these registers for research purposes. The record description list for VPRS 3844 provides detailed information about the content of the series.
