Parks and Reserves Inwards Correspondence

Inwards and outwards correspondence systems operated by the Director of Parks & Reserves (later designated the Director of Parks & Recreation) and his senior staff. These letters have been filed in alphabetical sequence under the initial letter of the writer’s name, within yearly groups. Prior to 1987 the Parks & Recreation Department operated three filing systems, all functioning simultaneously: Unregistered subject files (containing both inwards and outwards correspondence) were created for some important subjects (see series 5/1/1); Inwards correspondence that was not placed in a subject file was filed in alphabetical sequence under the name of the writer (see series 5/1/2); Carbon copies of all outwards correspondence (on pink paper) was filed in alphabetical sequence under the name of the person or organisation to whom the letter was addressed (see series 5/1/3). 1981-1982 missing.
