Inward Misc - Governors Mackenzie, Robinson and D’Arcy 1864 to 1876 (H19, H21 to H32)

 

Introduction

Inward Despatch and Letter Books

From the 1830's until around the time of the First World War, Government records were kept in large copybooks.  Any loose materials, such as incoming letters and despatches were bound up into volumes.  A number of these volumes were destroyed or badly damaged by fire and/or water in the Town Hall fire of 1944 and the Secretariat fire of 1959. Those identified as too fragile and at risk of further damage were closed to researchers in 2010. 

It should be noted that the letters in these volumes are scanned in the order they have been bound, are not necessarily in date order and a number of the books are incomplete.  To reduce handling and unnecessary stress on the volumes blank pages have not been scanned and not all pages are legible either due to fading, damage or due to the way that they have been bound.

NB: Work on scanning these volumes is ongoing.
