  • How to use the Records
    This index may be used to identify files in VPRS 8916 Subject Files: Annual Single Number (Personnel Department) by geographical location. Locations are mainly within Victoria but some overseas countries are also included in the index.

    The index is arranged alphabetically. If researchers locate a card of interest relevant file numbers are listed in a column on the right hand side of the card. The records description lists for VPRS 8916 should be consulted to determine if files of interest have been transferred to PRO. Note that there may be more than one card for each location and there may be entries on both sides of cards.

  • Function / Content

Files indexed in this series cover subjects such as: SECV houses, amalgamation of district offices, abandonment of tramways at Ballarat, Geelong, SECV delegation to Japan, acquisition of electrical undertakings, etc..

    date (of creation of file);
    Location (Abbotsford, Japan, Yarraville, etc);

    Index cards in this series are green in colour and are arranged alphabetically by the name of the geographical locations within alphabetical sections. The cards are also numbered sequentially and arranged in number order within each alphabetic division.
