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

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in 1928, when all alphabetically arranged inactive and closed files, were allocated sequential numbers which were later superseded by a new numerical sequence as recorded in the later parts of the same Register and in the newly created Register of General Correspondence Files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.

本系列最初由州河流与供水委员会（State Rivers and Water Supply Commission，VA 723）创建，用于在非活跃文件从原始记录管理系统分离时对其进行列示。该登记簿的第一部分创建于1928年某时，当时所有按字母顺序排列的非活跃及已关闭文件均被分配了连续编号；这些编号后来被新的数字序列取代，相关记录见于同一登记簿的后续部分，以及新创建的《通用往来文件登记簿（1928年前文件的字母重排非活跃部分）》——单一编号系统，VPRS 9474。这两个系列均为从原始记录管理系统移出的非活跃文件提供了访问途径，并便于其检索。这批非活跃文件合集后来被编列为VPRS 3844《通用往来文件（VPRS 6008的字母重排非活跃部分，1928年前文件）》——单一编号系统。VPRS 9604（本系列）及VPRS 14628——其缩微胶片副本——的相关部分按O.S.（旧系统？）及旧文件编号顺序列示文件，并提供了指向新文件编号的交叉引用。VPRS 9474则反向执行了相同操作。研究用途无需使用这些登记簿。VPRS 3844的记录描述清单提供了该系列内容的详细信息。
