Summary heading

Function and purpose

This is a series of correspondence files ordered in an annual single number series. The files contain correspondence relating to character checks, detailed inquiries into specified persons and security generally. The format of the records has varied over time. Older records are contained in plain brown files, more recent records in buff files with the subject written on the cover. Occasionally ring binders are used for extensive inquiries. The files are controlled by movement cards, file registers, and a microfiche of name index cards. The original name index cards were destroyed in 1980-1981 when the microfiche were being made.
