Description of series:
Correspondence files consisting mainly of letters received, copies of letters sent, memos reports, statistics and including maps and site plans and other miscellaneous papers relating to the establishment and continuance of individual post offices in various parts of Queensland.

In 1950, due to the complexity and difficulty to maintain the annual single number with an alphabetical prefix (A, B, C, D, G, etc, as per BP13/1) within the registry section, the PMG Department decided to adopt an multiple number, with a 'Q' prefix (J1).  All files held within the registry or returned from Archives were gradually brought into the new system.
