SPTL 1: MINUTE BOOKS and MINUTES OF COUNCIL, GENERAL COMMITTEE AND SPECIAL COMMITTEES, 1909-2010
Extent and form: 8 volumes and 23 folders
Scope and Content:
This is the core series for
- Council Minutes, covering 1909-1966, 1973-1977 and 1995 onwards
- General Committee Minutes, covering 1909-1973
- Executive Committee Minutes, covering 1995 onwards
In addition, minutes of AGMs 1997-2001 and of various subcommittees are held here.
Until 2001 this series is predominantly minutes. From 2001 onwards supporting papers are also held in this series, following a change in filing practice. From 2005 onwards a signed copy of the minutes and signed attendance sheets have been transferred to the Archive. In accordance with the original filing practice, these are held with the agenda and papers of the meeting which they document, rather than the subsequent meeting at which the minutes would have been approved. In addition, minutes of the previous meeting is a standard agenda item for each meeting and therefore a copy of the unsigned minutes of the previous meeting is held with the supporting papers.
Arrangement: five volumes in this series were originally numbered in sequence A1-A5. Several committees used the same minute book. The books were not listed in chronological order and the numbering sequence was probably imposed at a later date (e.g. minutes of the earliest meetings are in minute books A2 and A4).
SPTL 1/7 onwards represent later accessions, deposited by Administrative Secretaries of SPTL. Their original filing order has been retained.
