The earliest correspondence dates from 1906.

本系列档案为按主题标题字母顺序编排维护的通用主题往来档案，1905年至1981年由吉朗港信托专员委员会（Geelong Harbour Trust Commissioners）负责管理，1981年至1996年移交吉朗港管理局（Port of Geelong Authority）接续维护。该批往来档案涵盖该机构经办的全部业务范畴，其构成主要包括：收文、发文副本、内部部门/委员会报告，以及会议纪要摘录、报告摘录等其他相关材料。这批档案显然源自多处收集，且于本系列P1批次档案移交之际完成归集。档案已按照主题标题的字母顺序重新排序，以还原其原始编排逻辑。本系列档案的确切起始日期暂不可考，目前可追溯的最早往来函件形成于1906年。
