* Registers of Correspondence 
 
Bound volumes, starting in 1849 and run until 1951, and act as finding aids for original correspondence series (see above).

Until 1926 the following details are recorded in columns:

  • registered number
  • name of the correspondence
  • date of letter
  • letter number
  • subject of letter and a brief precis
  • related correspondence
  • action taken, and remarks
Note that the registers are arranged by the date the Colonial Office received a letter; but original correspondence is arranged by date of letter.

In 1926 a series of annual subject files was introduced and the registers are arranged in file number order.

See National Archives leaflets on *Colonial Office registers of correspondence, 1849-1926 and *Colonial Office registers of correspondence, 1926-1951.
