Correspondence and Company Administration- Main Filing Series, 1915-1959

Component identifier:

Series D42/PL4

Content Summary:

Files covering aspects of the company's administration, and, particularly, its negotiations with governments, associations of shipowners, and other firms, covering the Australasian trade via America. It will be observed that the 'Old Files' series PL3 are files abstracted from PL4 and placed in boxfiles as an exercise in removing noncurrent material.

Within the files each paper has a registration stamp bearing the file reference and, in the case of copies of cables, the date. A few files carry the reference number of boxfiles containing relevant earlier papers, presumably in PL3.

Original file titles and references are given, and additional information is given in square brackets. Covering dates are those of actual first and last papers, since in many cases the dates marked on the files are not accurate.
