Arrangement
Maps, plans and drawings extracted by the Public Record Office (PRO) were originally allocated a two-part location code, consisting of a prefix and serial number. In this case MRC denoted material extracted to rolled storage from records of various series held or produced for inspection at the PRO, Chancery Lane, between 1989 and consolidation of the PRO's operations at Kew in 1997. The location codes came to be treated as document references. In 1998 the decision was taken to change them to standard three-part PRO references, the prefix becoming a department reference, containing a single series in which each serially-numbered extract is a piece.
