The CH file series was raised in 1965 for the Directorate of Contracts within the Ministry of Public Building and Works. A number of earlier files were re-registered into it from the CON, CG, and DG series. The CH series continued in use when the Directorate of Contracts passed to the Department of the Environment in 1970 and the Property Services Agency in 1972.
