Unpublished finding aids (A note of unpublished indexes, lists or guides to the record)
- A system of registration of the papers coming into the Board was instituted in 1808 and continued until 1864. The registers, in BT 4, record each paper with a registered number. But until 1839 the references in the minutes in BT 5 often make them an easier means of access to the papers than the registers. The registered numbers of the relevant papers appear in the minutes from 1832 as well as the bundle and paper numbers. But after 1839 the only means of reference to the papers is the register. For 1832, and from 1834 to 1864 there are indexes to the registers.
