Alphabetical subject (and author) files

This series consists of files with cover sheets arranged either by name of sender or subject matter.
 
Some of the letters contained in these files were registered in the inwards correspondence registers, but were rearranged into these files and placed in alphabetical order.

It is assumed that this system made it easier for Museum staff to refer back to previous correspondence than with the letter registration system.

Information contained here covers a wide range of subjects amd authors, including correspondence with Internal Affairs, staff and administrative matters etc.
