- How to use the Records
Consult the Records Description List for this series to identify the unit (box) which contains the items you require. Where possible files have been listed by title allocated by Dr Allen, where no official title exists files are listed by a title allocated by Department of Education staff.
- Function / Content
Series consists of records accumulated by Dr Ian Allen, Deputy Chair Victorian Post-Secondary Education Commission (VPSEC) 1991-1993 and Director Policy and Planning Division Department of Education 1993-1995.
The General Correspondence Files of VPSEC (1991-1993) (see VPRS 11405) and the General Subject Correspondence Files, Multiple Number System (Office of the Secretary) (1993-1995) (see VPRS 11406) have also been transferred to the PRO. Dr Allens records have been retained permanently because Department of Education staff believe that the majority of his records would not be duplicated by these two series of General Subject Correspondence Files, and that his files supplement the two General Subject Correspondence Files series. The three series combined provide a more complete record of the functions and activities of VPSEC 1991-1993, and the policy and planning function for higher education from 1993-1995.
- Recordkeeping System
The series is accumulative, the original order is no longer evident. Some of the records were stored in lever arch files while others had been placed in manilla folders and bundled together.
