NRS-3988 | Site Register cards

These cards were compiled in the Department of Education and its successor agencies from approximately 1930, and record details of school sites purchased and subsequently disposed of since the early nineteenth century. These record cards include the key sections of firstly the "Sites Register" of the actual land and how it was acquired, secondly the eventual "disposals of land", thirdly a site map, plus fourthly on particular cards the "School Buildings". The acquisition of land data includes the school's name, municipality, parish, county, land purchased, area, nature of dealing (whether resumed), date and value. With the disposal of land details of the land, area, nature of the dealing (whether given up or revoked), date and value are recorded. Each 34cm by 41cm card has either a site plan pasted to its back or a drawing of the local streets, or a sketch of the common. Specific Site Branch construction memoranda may also be pasted to the reverse side of the card with an "action approved" notation and signature. In some cases a land title number is recorded along with a notation stating that the land title documents have been amended. Further to this the Departmental file numbers for the land transactions and notes concerning the temporary leasing of sites may also be recorded. Some cards also give details of school buildings constructed over time and road ownership.The dates on the cards include dates determined by land records research that established earlier purchases and disposals. These dates are not contemporaneous with the activity they record, and there are no conclusive dates on the cards to determine precisely when each card was prepared and subsequently actioned.The cards are arranged in alphabetical order by school name.

本套卡片约于1930年起由教育部（Department of Education）及其后续主管机构编纂，记录了自19世纪初以来购置后又相继处置的校址相关细节。此类记录卡片包含四大核心板块：其一为校址登记簿（Sites Register），记录实际地块及其获取方式；其二为最终土地处置记录；其三为校址地图；其四为部分卡片额外收录的校舍信息（School Buildings）。土地购置数据涵盖学校名称、市政辖区、教区、郡县、购置地块、面积、交易性质（是否为政府征收所得）、交易日期及交易金额。土地处置相关数据则记录了地块信息、面积、交易性质（是否为交还或撤销处置）、处置日期及处置金额。每张尺寸为34厘米×41厘米的卡片背面，要么粘贴有校址平面图，要么附有当地街道示意图，亦或是公共用地草图。卡片背面还可粘贴有标注"action approved"并带有签名的专项校址施工备忘录。部分卡片会记录土地权证编号，并附带说明土地权证文件已完成修订的备注。此外，卡片还可记录土地交易的部门档案编号，以及关于校址临时租赁的相关备注。部分卡片还会详细记录随时间推移建造的校舍信息以及道路权属情况。卡片所载日期包含通过土地档案研究回溯确定的早期购置与处置行为的对应日期，此类日期与所记录的活动实际发生时间并不一致，且卡片上未标注确切日期，无法精准判定每张卡片的编制及后续执行时间。本套卡片按照学校名称的字母顺序进行排列。
