Correspondence with the colonies: Entry books and registers of correspondence
Records of the Chief Clerk's and General Departments
Records of Local Bodies and other Colonial Miscellanea

Administrative History
As the department chiefly responsible for the administration of the Australian colonies and for the formulation of imperial policy, the Colonial Office was the largest group of records filmed by the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP).
The Colonial Office was responsible for the administration of the Crown colonies and for communications between Britain and self-governing colonies. Its records contain an enormous amount of information on the six Australian colonies, New Zealand, New Guinea and Fiji.
Until the colonies became self-governing in the 1850s the respective Governors exercised total power. Their despatches dealing with all aspects of colonial life make up the main series of records. Of most importance are the Enclosures accompanying each despatch - statistical returns, reports of officials, letters and petitions from private individuals and newspaper and other printed items, many of which have marginal annotations made by departmental officials.
From 1782 to 1801 colonial affairs were in the hands of the Home Secretary. In 1794 a third secretary of state was appointed, with responsibility for managing the war against France, and in 1801 he became the Secretary of State for War and Colonies. After 1815 military work declined sharply and from then onwards the department was known as the Colonial Office. In 1854 the Secretary of State relinquished his residual military responsibilities.
The organisation and record keeping of the Colonial Office remained remarkably stable until 1925, when a separate Dominions Office was created. The Colonial Office remained responsible for crown colonies and dependent territories. As colonies gained independence, its importance diminished and in 1966 it merged with the Commonwealth Relations Office to form the Commonwealth Office.
