VPRS 12669 Index to Outward Correspondence (Local Government Branch)

The Public Works Department (VA 669) had wide-ranging responsibilities for all public works and buildings, including construction, maintenance and fitting out of these buildings. Other major responsibilities included roads and bridges, ports and harbours, local government and water supply.It is believed that this series comprises the Index to Outward Correspondence, possibly from the Local Government Branch of the Public Works Department. The series contains names of persons and organisations and numbers referring to the number of the piece of correspondence or the folio upon which the copy was recorded in the outward letterbook. This cannot be confirmed from the records held in custody as of September 1999.VPRS 12669/P1 was previously registered as Units 3537 of VPRS 966 Index to Correspondence. It was reserialised in 2001 as part of the ARAD Project.
