VPRS 13069 Tramway Publications

This is an artificial series of publications devoted to the subject of tramways. By the late 1990s, they were part of the collection of the Public Transport Corporation's library. They were transferred to the Public Record Office Victoria in 2000. Much of the material appears to have been collected by two of the Public Transport Corporation's previous agencies, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (VA 1044) and the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board (VA 2694). The P1 consignment comprises publications devoted to international and local tramway systems, trams and light rail technology ranging from 1949 to 1993. It includes issues of the Modern Tramway, (the official organ of Britain's Light Railway Transport League) and subsequent incarnations (The Modern Tramway and Light Rail Review, Modern Tramway and Rapid Transit Review, Modern Tramway and Light Rapid Transit and Modern Tramway and Light Rail Transit) from 1949 to 1987. The consignment also includes Tramway Topics - Tramway Journal of New Zealand ranging from 1989-1990 as well as the official organ of the trade union representing Victoria's tramways employees: Tramway Record - Organ of the Victorian Branch of the Australian Tramway and Motor Omnibus Employees' Association, ranging from 1962-1992.本套人工汇编出版物以有轨电车（tramways）为主题。至20世纪90年代末，该套出版物已纳入公共交通公司（Public Transport Corporation）图书馆馆藏。2000年，这批出版物被移交至维多利亚公共档案馆（Public Record Office Victoria）。馆藏中的多数资料由公共交通公司的两家前身机构——大都会交通局（Metropolitan Transit Authority，VA 1044）与墨尔本及大都会电车委员会（Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board，VA 2694）收集所得。P1批次包含1949年至1993年间出版的、涉及国际及本地有轨电车系统、电车与轻轨技术的各类出版物，其中包括1949年至1987年间发行的《现代电车》（英国轻便铁路运输联盟（Light Railway Transport League）官方刊物）及其后续改版刊物：《现代电车与轻轨评论》《现代电车与快速交通评论》《现代电车与轻轨快速交通》《现代电车与轻轨交通》。本批次馆藏还涵盖1989年至1990年发行的《电车话题——新西兰电车杂志》，以及1962年至1992年间出版的《电车记录——澳大利亚电车与机动车巴士雇员工会维多利亚分会官方刊物》。
