Using this record
This is a subject index of inward correspondence received by the Melbourne Town Clerk's Office. When searching for a subject heading:

1. Search the unit with the year span in which you are interested
2. Find the subject heading you are interested in. If you fail to find the subject that you are searching for, check under the 'Miscellaneous' listings. Each alphabetical division begins with such a miscellaneous section (that is, 'A' Miscellaneous is followed by Abattoirs; 'B' Miscellaneous is followed by Bridges, and so on).
3. In volumes that span a number of years, entries under a subject heading may be subdivided by years. Search the entries under the year you are interested in.
4. Entries are listed with annual single numbers. An annual single number (for example, 68/438) is composed of the year in which a letter was received and its number in the sequence of correspondence received for that year. From 1946, entries also include the page number of the corresponding entry in the register VPRS 8907/P1 Town Clerk's Register of Inward Correspondence.
5. Once you have located a reference to correspondence of interest, it may be possible to find further correspondence received on this matter by checking the register. The registers are held in the repository and need to be ordered for viewing in the Reading Room.
6. Consult the register to check if correspondence has been top numbered. The final number is required to order a file in VPRS 3183 Town Clerk's Correspondence Files II for viewing in the Victorian Archives Centre Reading Room.
