VPRS 11559 General Correspondence Files, Multiple Number System, Fisheries and Wildlife Division

This series constitutes the general correspondence of the Fisheries and Wildlife Division (VA 432) which maintained its own recordkeeping system from 1976 to 1984.The files sometimes include correspondence which pre-dates the establishment of the Division (eg. documents from the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the Chief Secretarys Department). Papers continued to be added to some files until 1993 by the successor agency Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands (VA 1034).Some culling of files from this record series has occurred. The culling has been undertaken in accordance with the provisions of a disposal schedule for the Fisheries and Wildlife Division (VA 432) issued by the Keeper of Public Records on 30 June 1980. (PROV file 79/238 refers).In 1983 the Ministry for Conservation was abolished. The majority of its responsibilities were assumed by the Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands (VA 1034). Other functions became the responsibility of the Department of Planning and Environment (VA 1024). The Fisheries and Wildlife Division ceased to register its own files from mid-1984.

本档案系列系渔业与野生动物处（Fisheries and Wildlife Division，VA 432）的通用往来函件总集，该机构于1976年至1984年间自行维护专属档案记录体系。部分函件的生成时间早于该机构的设立年份，例如首席秘书署下辖渔业与野生动物处的相关文件。其后续机构——保护、森林与土地部（Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands，VA 1034）直至1993年仍在为部分档案补充文件。本档案系列曾开展过部分档案剔存工作，该工作严格遵照1980年6月30日由公共档案保管员（Keeper of Public Records）为渔业与野生动物处（VA 432）制定的档案处置方案执行（详见公共档案办公室（PROV）档案79/238号）。1983年，保护部被撤销，其绝大多数职能由保护、森林与土地部（VA 1034）承接，剩余职能划归规划与环境部（Department of Planning and Environment，VA 1024）。渔业与野生动物处自1984年中期起停止自行归档文件。
