VPRS 14924 General Correspondence Files, Single Number System

This series comprises a single extant file. The file is 7449 Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works and the Upper Yarra Watershed. It includes some maps relevant to the subject.The State Forests Department was formed in 1908. Under a new filing system that came into use a few years later, the Department numbered its incoming correspondence sequentially from 1 upwards. A registration number was given to the first letter received on a subject. Subsequent correspondence on the same matter was either filed under the original number or allocated a higher number that could then become the new top number of the file. By 1919 the Department was using file numbers up to five figures long.This file was never top numbered into the subsequent annual single number filing system. (For subsequent series refer to VPRS 11563 General Correspondence Files, Annual Single Number system). VPRS 10568 also contains files created under the annual single number system, as at Jan 2005.Files created under the single number system that were top numbered into the annual single number system are currently located in another series VPRS 1472 (As at Jan. 2005).

本系列仅存1份完整档案文件。该文件编号为7449，主题为墨尔本都会工程局（Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works）与亚拉河上游流域（Upper Yarra Watershed），内含与该主题相关的若干地图。
州林业部（State Forests Department）成立于1908年。数年后启用的全新归档系统中，该部门对收讫的往来函件按顺序从1开始编号：针对某一主题的首封来函，将被赋予专属登记编号；同一事项的后续往来函件，既可归入原登记编号下归档，亦可被分配更高编号，该新编号可成为该档案文件的新顶编号。至1919年，该部门已启用最多达五位数字的档案编号体系。
本文件从未被纳入后续年度单编号归档系统的顶编号序列。（如需查阅后续系列档案，请参阅VPRS 11563《通用往来函件档案》之年度单编号系统档案）。
截至2005年1月，VPRS 10568亦包含采用年度单编号系统归档的档案文件。
截至2005年1月，所有采用单编号系统创建且被纳入年度单编号系统顶编号序列的档案文件，现存放于VPRS 1472系列档案中。
