Inward Misc - Governors Moody, Rennie and Moore - 1842 to 1864 (C1 to C5 and H3 to H18)

 

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. Closed Volumes in this series are H3, H9, H10, H11.

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.

The C series of volumes are copies of a large number of the inward miscellaneous letters in the H series of volumes up until 1851.  They have been scanned as they are in excellent condition and the handwriting is generally a lot more legible than in the original letters.  There are 25 numbered pages in volume C1 which are blank ready for letters to copied in but for some reason this never occurred.

NB: Work on scanning these volumes is ongoing.
