Indexes to Town Clerk's Department Correspondence Files

Description

Unique IDAS-0006Start dateBetween 1st January 1914 and 13th December 1978Start date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - Leather Bound BinderShort descriptionThis series consists of indexes to the Town Clerk's Department Correspondence Files, 1914-1978. DescriptionThis series indexes the series Town Clerk's Department Correspondence Files (AS-0034). The index is strictly annual not cumulative. It was created by the Town Clerk's Department (AG-0040) for the period 01/01/1914 to 29/06/1970 and the Administration Department (AG-0003) for the period 01/07/1970 to 31/12/1978.

From 1914 to 1926 there are two separate volumes for each year, one being a subject index of files created, the other an alphabetical index of the authors of letters received.

From 1927 to 1978, only annual indexes by subject were produced.

The indexes record the date an item of correspondence was received, the name of the writer, the subject of the correspondence, and the file number in which it was placed. The file numbers are annual single numbers, for example, TC 200/1923.

Files on significant or recurring matters were also indexed separately in Special Registrations Index (AS-0123). This enabled staff to locate important file numbers more quickly as it is a cumulative index for 1901 to 1966, not a separate annual index.
