NRS-5604 | Registers of Assignments and Other Legal Instruments (the 'Old Register')

These registers are officially known as the Registers of Assignments and Other Legal Instruments. The register was proclaimed in 1802 but allowed people to register assignments and other legal instruments which dated back to 1794. The nine registers record land and other transactions from 22 January 1794 to 15 May 1824.These registers show registration number, names of parties and nature of agreement. From Register 5 more complete details of agreements are given (many in full).These volumes became known as the 'Old Register'. The original volumes remained under the control of Land and Property Information, being subsequently transferred as State archives.On 20 October 2008 the then NSW Department of Lands with State Records NSW released digital copies of all the volumes in this series in DVD format titled 'Old Register One to Nine'. The DVD also includes an index compiled by Lois Sabine.Note:This description, as amended,  is extracted from Concise Guide to the State Archives of New South Wales, 3rd Edition 2000.

本批登记册的官方名称为《转让契据及其他法律文书登记册》（Registers of Assignments and Other Legal Instruments）。该登记册于1802年正式设立，但允许民众登记可追溯至1794年的转让契据及其他法律文书。整套九卷登记册涵盖了1794年1月22日至1824年5月15日期间的土地及其他交易事项，登记内容包含登记编号、合同各方当事人姓名及协议性质。自第5号登记册起，协议将提供更完整的细节（多数为全文刊载）。这批卷宗此后被统称为“旧登记册”。原始卷宗最初由土地与物业信息局（Land and Property Information）管理，后续作为州级档案完成移交。2008年10月20日，时任新南威尔士州土地厅（NSW Department of Lands）会同新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records NSW），以DVD光盘形式发布了该系列全部卷宗的数字副本，光盘标题为《旧登记册1至9号》。该光盘还附赠由洛伊丝·萨宾（Lois Sabine）编制的索引。备注：本说明经修订后摘编自2000年第三版《新南威尔士州档案简明指南》（Concise Guide to the State Archives of New South Wales）。
