(3)The packet system was abandoned in 1975 following the introduction of a system of microfilming records upon arrival at the Corporate Affairs Commission. Prior to this, incoming documents were added to the relevant company packet. (4) At the time of filming the Commission extracted annual returns more than seven years old, and share allocations more than two years old from the packets. These records were not filmed and were later transferred to the Archives Authority of New South Wales. These records are now held in the related record series NRS-12972, Annual returns of companies, 1940-1964. (5) This series has commonly been referred to as 'Company Packets'.Endnotes 1. T. Le M.

(3) 1975年，新南威尔士州公司事务委员会（Corporate Affairs Commission）引入文件抵达后即开展缩微拍摄的管理系统，自此废弃了文件包管理制度。在此之前，新接收的文件会被归入对应公司的文件包中。
(4) 在开展缩微拍摄工作时，委员会从文件包中剔除了留存时长超过7年的年度申报表，以及留存时长超过2年的股份分配记录。此类记录未被纳入缩微拍摄范围，后续被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局。目前该类档案留存于相关档案系列NRS-12972《1940-1964年公司年度申报表》中。
(5) 本档案系列通常被称为‘公司文件包’。
