Board of Education and successors: Technical Branch and Further Education Branch:...

Policy papers of the Board of Education and successors' Technical Branch and Further Education Branch relating to the provision of further education for adults.

The files reflect the co-operation between the Board of Education and voluntary bodies in the provision of adult education and include material relating to national and public library schemes, the National Museum of Wales and the National Central Library; courses of instruction by Local Education Authorities and voluntary bodies; adult education in wartime; and post-war plans. The papers also include, inter alia, HM Inspectors' reports on the organisation of adult education provision.

A small number of representative specimen files dealing with general correspondence with the Local Education Authorities have been included.

In 1944 the 'A' series succeeded the 'T' series files.

The first part of the list is arranged under subject headings, the later files are arranged in numerical order.
