Selection and destruction information (Information about how the record was selected for archiving)
-
The present list of Hemel Hempstead Development Corporation records is preliminary only. Most of the records were deposited on the understanding that only those considered to be of sufficient historical interest should be retained permanently. The appearance of any item in this list should not, therefore, be taken as indicating that it will necessarily form part of the permanent archive.
-
Administrative / biographical background (Historical or biographical information about the creator of the record and the context of its creation)
-
Hemel Hempstead was the third New Town to be created under the New Towns Act 1946, being designated on 4 February 1947. On 1 April 1962 the Commission for the New Towns (which was established as a result of the New Towns Act 1959) took over the administration of the town from the Development Corporation by means of a Local Committee. In November 1982 the Commission closed its Hertfordshire Offices and certain of its records which were no longer required for current administrative purposes were transferred the County Record Office.
