Arrangement
The RD series was originated by the Board of Trade. When the regional development functions passed to the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), current RD files were re-registered in the 2RD series. This 2RD series continued to be used following the subsequent transfer of these functions to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, and later to the Department of the Environment.
The original numerical sequence of the creating body has been followed:
- RD series: pieces 1-1098, 1328-1419, 1430-1455, 1460-1465, 1467-1474, 1476-1479, 1484-1500, 1503, 1504
- 2RD series: pieces 1099-1327, 1420-1429, 1456-1459, 1466, 1475, 1480-1483, 1501, 1502
