NRS-15296 | Signal and telegraph officers' conference minutes

These minutes detail the meetings of the Signals and Telegraph Branch (Signals and Communications from 1974). The meetings were attended by the Signal Engineer, Signals Inspectors, accounting, construction and workshop staff. Matters discussed included signal system maintenance programs, renewal of telegraph lines, supply requirements, the location and performance of signal gangs, and equipment upgrades. As well as production and technical matters there are reports given by non-line managers relating to branch expenditure, staff discipline, numbers, and wages.Custody HistoryFrom 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an ‘in house archives’ consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the ‘State Rail Archives’ the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R27. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R27 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

保管历史
1955年至2000年间，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设有“内部档案库”，收藏该局及其前身机构以及被政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录。这些记录的时间跨度为1849年至2000年。当决定关闭“州铁路档案馆”时，馆藏中需作为州级档案保存的部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。这些记录系列被纳入州档案管理局的档案控制系列系统，并重新编号。本系列原属州铁路档案馆馆藏，编号为R27系列。它可能曾在州铁路档案馆中以R27系列被查阅，且此前可能已被州铁路档案馆的研究人员在笔记、出版物或未发表作品中如此引用。
