Description (What the record is about)
-
A single series (OBS 1) consisting of finding aids to records currently or previously held in the Public Record Office, which are no longer current for one of the following reasons:
- 1. The records to which they relate have been transferred out of the Public Record Office to other places of deposit.
- 2. The records to which they relate have been destroyed, either under permission from the Lord Chancellor, or accidentally, eg by fire.
- 3. The records to which they relate have been transferred to other series, and lists showing the new archival references have been produced.
- 4. The records to which they relate have been given new references within the same series, and hence new lists have been produced.
- 5. Revised lists have been produced, but additional information appears on the original versions, which may still be of interest to some readers.
