Royal Mint: Quinquennial Series 5: Digitised Paper Files

MINT 35

1982-1986

The records in this series comprise digitised paper files from the Quinquennial Series 5.

References for born digital records are automatically generated and display a 'Z' after a forward slash, which distinguish them from traditional references allocated to paper and digitised records. Records in this series were transferred with born digital referencing because they had been digitised for business use before transfer took place.

The records were stored in the Royal Mint facility in Llantrisant, Wales. The records information had to be digitised after a fire at this facility in 2008 smoke-damaged the files. The paper records were destroyed. These records were digitised by the department for business purposes, subsequently used digitally and later transferred to The National Archives as born-digital records.

No further accruals are anticipated.

OSP22 - The Records of the Royal Mint, 1975-2000. Selection criteria and topics covered in these files are described in 'OSP22 - The Records of the Royal Mint, 1975 - 2000', Table 2. However, the files codes in Table 2 only extends from 1972 to 1991; a new set of registry file codes covering file series 7 to 9 (inclusive) which seem not to have changed to tri-annual, was introduced from 1992 to 2001.

From 1982 to 1986, the Royal Mint was arranged organisationally into the following business units: Office of the Master of the Mint (Chancellor of the Exchequer); Deputy Master and Comptroller; Commercial Director and Establishment Officer; Financial Director; Sales Director; Production Director and Personnel Manager.
