Activity File Register Sheets, 1979-1987

Description

Unique IDAS-0085Start dateBetween 1st January 1979 and 31st December 1987Start date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - Leather BoundShort descriptionThis series consisted of Activity File Register Sheets, 1979-1987, which were used to register files in the series Central Activity Files. DescriptionThe Activity File Register Sheets were created from 1979-1987 to control the Central Activity Files (AS-0116). Each file was registered by entering the new file number on the register sheet and allocated the next running number.

The series was created by:
- Information Services (AG-0004) in the period 01/01/1984 to 31/12/1987, and
- Administration Department (AG-0003) in the period 01/01/1979 to 31/12/1983.

The series is based on a keyboard system which is a multiple number classified system containing both primary and secondary subjects to form the first two numerical elements of the file number. The third number is a running number allocated to each new file.

The codes for the primary subjects basically follow the broad structure of Council. The codes for the secondary subjects are based on the functions performed within the primary subjects. The running number consists of four digits and each file is allocated the next number in numerical sequence.

The information contained on each register sheet is the primary subject, secondary subject, date of file creation, precis of the file's subject, and the running number.

These sheets were used to input file metadata into Council's first electronic records management database. Metadata relating to development and building application files was not added as it existed in the land information system at that time, known as the DABA system.
