NRS-15895 | Personnel Register - Darling Harbour

This volume details the employment history of workers at Darling Harbour Goods Yard. Information recorded includes employee’s name, date of birth, position, station and salary. Matters recorded involve particulars of offences committed on duty, reasons for absenteeism, entitlements for sickness benefits and date of resignation or retirement. Industrial relations issues relating to the strike of August 1917 and subsequent employment of temporary staff are also documented. The records of employees who did not participate in the Railway Strike of 1917 have their entries stamped '6/8/1917. - Remained loyal. All prior offences expunged.' This partial volume is "Book No.2", and would appear to be the only surviving volume of the series.Custody HistoryFrom 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an ‘in house archives’ consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the ‘State Rail Archives’ the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R128. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R128 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

保管历程
1955年至2000年间，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设有内部档案馆，馆藏内容涵盖该局、其前身机构，以及被政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录。这批档案的时间跨度为1849年至2000年。在决定关停"州铁路档案馆"后，其中符合州档案馆馆藏要求的部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。该批档案系列被纳入州档案管理体系，并重新编号。

本系列原隶属于州铁路档案馆馆藏，当时编号为R128系列。该系列在州铁路档案馆期间或被标注为R128系列，此前可能已被州铁路档案馆的研究人员在笔记、已出版或未出版作品中以此编号援引。
