NRS-17278 | Minutes of Meetings of the Railway Service Superannuation Board

This series consists of bound volumes of minutes of the Railway Service Superannuation Board. The contents of early volumes were handwritten (Vols. 1 - 8), while those of later volumes (Vols. 9 - 27) were typed, with occasional handwritten notes inserted. Pages within volumes are numbered. The last minutes (Item 28, March to May 1990) are held in a manilla folder. The minutes document decisions regarding superannuation entitlements for railway services employees and give detailed information about injuries sustained while working and other medical conditions necessitating retirement. The following information is also recorded : name ; position ; branch ; age ; length of service and nature of infirmity.The minutes of the Board's May 1990 meeting state that this would be the Board's last meeting because the responsibilities of the Railway Service Superannuation Board were to be transferred to the State Authorities Superannuation Board on 1 June 1990.Custody HistoryFrom 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an ‘in house archives’ consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the ‘State Rail Archives’ the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R344. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R344 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.

本数据集由铁路服务退休金管理局（Railway Service Superannuation Board）的装订成册的会议纪要卷本组成。早期卷本（第1至8卷）为手写稿，后期卷本（第9至27卷）为打字稿，且夹杂少量手写批注。卷内页面均有编号。最后一批会议纪要（第28项，1990年3月至5月）被收纳于马尼拉纸文件夹（manilla folder）中。

该会议纪要记录了有关铁路服务雇员退休金权益的各项决议，并详细记载了工作中遭受的工伤以及其他需办理退休手续的医疗状况。此外，纪要中还记录了以下信息：姓名、职位、所属部门、年龄、服务年限以及病症性质。

1990年5月的董事会会议纪要显示，此次会议将是该局的最后一次会议，原因是铁路服务退休金管理局的相关职责将于1990年6月1日移交至州当局退休金管理局（State Authorities Superannuation Board）。

保管历史
1955年至2000年，新南威尔士州铁路管理局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设有内部档案馆，馆藏该局、其前身机构及政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录，档案时间跨度为1849年至2000年。当决定关闭“州铁路档案馆”时，符合州档案馆馆藏要求的部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW），并被纳入州档案管理系统，同时重新进行了编号。

本数据集原属于州铁路档案馆馆藏，原馆藏编号为系列R344。此前在州铁路档案馆中，该数据集可能以R344系列的标识供查阅，亦可能被该馆的研究人员在笔记、已出版或未出版作品中以此编号进行引用。
