Documents of the Ministry of Education and Department of Education and Science, Architects and Building Branch relating to the development, progress and policy of building of educational premises since the second world war.
The first part of the series (G 692) shows how the shortage of labour and materials affected the school building programme just after the war.
The comments and suggestions of the working party set up pursuant to s10 of the Education Act 1944 towards the laying down of building regulations are contained in G 758 files.
Four volumes of precedent notings are preserved, one on air raid precautions, two on miscellaneous aspects of school building and the last on Building Regulations 1951 and 1954.
The remaining part of the series (G 847-G 897) contains papers concerning the work and administrative procedures of the branch; work of the Development Group on the control of annual building programmes, cost analysis (statistics) and building regulations; development policies; research on planning requirements and equipment; and relations with professional bodies and manufacturers. It covers all aspects of building, including fire precautions and internal fittings.
