The volumes contain memos relating to the preparation of plans, almost all from the City Engineer (K E Luke), and some hand written notes, including some from the Mayor. On the opposing page, there are dated notes, some references to the name of officer who prepared the plans, plan numbers, dates, etc. Some memos refer to the methods and materials of creating plans, e.g. sun printing, use of linen, etc. There also hand written summaries of work done each week. Many of the memos refer to file numbers; all volumes are indexed , mostly by subjects, such as name of streets, sites, etc.. These volumes give an excellent overview of the work of creating the plans for all areas of the Council operations. Though many of the memos may be also on files, the volumes can be used as an additional point of research as the indexes are excellent. The references to plan numbers can aid the identification and cataloguing of the plan collection.Quantity (Linear Metres)0.55MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementChronological by date of memos.Collection TypeWellington City Council
