NRS-8098 | Registers of letters received [Conditional Sales/Sales Branch, Department of Lands]

From 1877 to 1889 the registers give the following information: progressive number, former papers, date registered, from whom correspondence was received and residence, date, nature of application or representation, to whom referred and date, and result of application. From 1890 the format of the volumes is slightly different; a column is available for official reference number (usually blank) and action, notations etc. replaces to whom referred and date and result of application. From 1912 the registers are different again: progressive number, former papers, subject, when register, and action, notations etc. are recorded. For 1882-85 there are separate registers labelled "Survey" and for 1882-1904 "Correspondence". Both have a separate registration sequence from the main "Departmental" correspondence. (11/21065-379). 315 vols. Note: This description is extracted from Concise Guide to the State Archives of New South Wales, 3rd Edition 2000.
