THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE. Janet D. Hine
THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE. Janet D. Hine. (This paper was delivered by Miss Hine · at the last Association Conference.) I am very happy to talk to you tonight about the Publio Record Office in London. Introduction. There is no doubt that we are greatly indebted to this institution, for its example and for the way it has preserved quantities of the. source material of Australian histor,y. But in any case I feel a personal sense of gratitude to it because, I must guiltily admit, I. have spent some of the pleasantest and strangest hours of my life there. All this in spite of being quite literally allergic to it, or at least to its dust. Perhaps that added to the strangeness. The Joint Copying Project. From 1954 to 1957 I was in London, seconded to the office of the Agent General for New South Wales, to do work for the various departments of the Public Library of New South Wales. As I shall mention again later, I had several enquiries to make of the Public Record Office on behalf of the Archives Department, and I also used it to settle some comparatively small and self-contained queries sent from home and others rising out of the interests of the Agent General 1 s office. But by far the longest and most consistent · association I had with it was in connexion with the Joint Copying Project. This, as the present audience will doubtless know, is an · arrangement whereby the Commonwealth National Library and the Mitchell Library, in co-operation with the other State libraries of Australia, are having original overseas material of Australian and Pacific interest searched and copied for the use of students in this country. -

The Colonial Office Group of the Public Record Office, London with Particular Reference to Atlantic Canada
THE COLONIAL OFFICE GROUP OF THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE, LONDON WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ATLANTIC CANADA PETER JOHN BOWER PUBLIC ARCHIVES OF CANADA rn~ILL= - importance of the Coioniai office1 records housed in the Public Record Office, London, to an under- standing of the Canadian experience has long been recog- nized by our archivists and scholars. In the past one hundred years, the Public Archives of Canada has acquired contemporary manuscript duplicates of documents no longer wanted or needed at Chancery Lane, but more importantly has utilized probably every copying technique known to improve its collection. Painfully slow and tedious hand- transcription was the dominant technique until roughly the time of the Second World War, supplemented periodi- cally by typescript and various photoduplication methods. The introduction of microfilming, which Dominion Archivist W. Kaye Lamb viewed as ushering in a new era of service to Canadian scholars2, and the installation of a P.A.C. directed camera crew in the P.R.O. initiated a duplica- tion programme which in the next decade and a half dwarfed the entire production of copies prepared in the preceding seventy years. It is probably true that no other former British possession or colony has undertaken so concerted an effort to collect copies of these records which touch upon almost every aspect of colonial history. While the significance of the British records for . 1 For the sake of convenience, the term "Colonial Office'' will be used rather loosely from time to time to include which might more properly be described as precur- sors of the department. -

A Brief History of the Public Record Office
General Information Series The Public Record Office: A Brief History A public record is a document created or stored by a government in the course of its business. In the middle ages, the public records were the king's personal records, created in the course of his business of governing the kingdom. The king moved around his estates from day to day, carrying all his documents around with him, along with his gold, jewels, and other personal belongings. From the early twelfth century, royal administration became more complex: Two great departments of state gradually evolved: the Exchequer, which dealt with the financial aspects of medieval government, and the Chancery, the administrative side. They generated their own records and, in addition, documents sent to them also had to be properly organised and recorded. Instructions issued to individuals and institutions (known as Writs), records relating to the courts of law, plus detailed accounts of royal income and expenditure, came to be copied 'for the record'. Copies were made on cleaned, dried and smoothed sheep-skin (parchment). For convenience, these copies were 'enrolled' - that is, sheets of parchment were sewn together to create rolls for easy carriage and storage. The person whose responsibility it was to care for these became known as 'Master of the Rolls'. Eventually, there were far too many records for the king to carry around with him, even if, by this stage, the entire royal court was becoming less mobile, staying in only a few major palaces each year. The problem then was where to store the records. From the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, there were over two hundred sites in London and elsewhere in use. -

But little has been written of his services to his country, and the stu- dent of his career will search in vain outside of the bald offi- cial records for more than a mere mention of the official posi- tions which he held.
