Custodial history
This series formerly consisted of eight volumes of entry books [CO 207/1-8]. The volumes were transferred to the Archives Authority of New South Wales in 1974 where they were microfilmed by the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP). Copies of the microfilm were presented to the Public Record Office and now form CO 207/9-11.
Copies information
Microfilm copies were created as part of the Australian Joint Copying Project (1948-1997). The microfilm images have been digitised and made available online by the National Library of Australia.
