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.

Between 1801 and 1854 part of the correspondence concerns the War Department. A section of this Series forms the records of the General Department of the Colonial Office under its various titles.
Pieces 482-942 were originally filmed by the National Archives of Canada, which later supplied copies to the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP). Many pieces were filmed selectively, excluding records that did not relate to Canada. Only a small number of pieces were not filmed at all.
Dates used in the this finding aid refer to those of the records selected for filming by the Australian Joint Copying Project (AJCP) rather than to the date range of the original , Series or File.

65 items,The Series includes sessional papers from colonial governments relating to legislative and administrative business undertaken within colonies in question.
Sessional papers produced by colonial governments tend to be of three types: records of the Legislative Council, the Executive Council and the administration reports of the local government departments.

They also include transcripts of addresses, the names of those elected to the council, oaths of allegiance by officials, enactments and movements for the reading of bills, estimates for scrutiny and approval, petitions received and draft ordinances.
The records of the Executive Council give similar details, but also contain transcripts of letters received and details of subsequent actions. They also record proclamations, drafts of proposed ordinances and approval of various estimates and contracts.
The administration reports provide detailed descriptive and statistical information on almost every aspect of colonial rule. This information refers to regional and central matters. Among the subjects covered are: the economy and public revenue; the judiciary and police; communications; population; public works; public health; agriculture and meteorological observations. The reports include many statistical tables, graphs, plans and maps.

Administrative History
A Colonial Land and Emigration Commission was created in 1840 to undertake the duties of two earlier and overlapping authorities under the supervision of the secretary of state: the Colonisation Commissioners for South Australia and the Agent General for Emigration. In 1855 it became the Emigration Commission. The commission's powers were gradually given up to the larger colonies as they obtained self-government, and after 1873 it was responsible only for controlling the importation of Indian labour into sugar-producing colonies. It was abolished in 1878 and an Emigration Department was then set up in the Colonial Office. This department was merged with the General Department in 1894, and abolished altogether in 1896.

Administrative History
A Colonial Land and Emigration Commission was created in 1840 to undertake the duties of two earlier and overlapping authorities which were both under the supervision of the secretary of state. These were the Colonisation Commissioners for South Australia, established under an act of 1834, and the agent general for emigration, appointed in 1837. The new commission dealt with grants of land, the outward movement of settlers, the administration of the Passenger Acts of 1855 and 1863 and, from 1846 to 1859, the scrutiny of colonial legislation.
In 1855 it became the Emigration Commission. In 1873 the administration of the Passenger Acts was transferred to the Board of Trade. The commission's powers were gradually given up to the larger colonies as they obtained self-government, and after 1873 its only duties were the control of the importation of Indian indentured labour into sugar-producing colonies and it was abolished in 1878.

Administrative History
In pursuance of a decision of the Imperial Conference of that year, the Colonial Office was in 1907 divided into two divisions, a Crown Colonies Division and a Dominions Division. The former dealt with the dependencies, while the Dominions Division was concerned with dominion affairs and imperial conferences. The latter also dealt with certain dependencies which were thought to have a special affinity with the dominions: the South African High Commission territories, Rhodesia, the Western Pacific High Commission and Fiji. In 1925 the Dominions Division became independent of the Colonial Office as the Dominions Office.

Administrative History
The Economic Department, dealt with the marketing and development of colonial products and with trade relations, including tariff matters; its head became a member of the Colonial Empire Marketing Board. After the outbreak of war in 1939 a separate Financial Adviser's Department was created out of the Economic Department to deal with taxation, exchange control, war loans and war damage.
The Economic Department itself was divided in 1943 into Supplies and Production Departments. These departments co-ordinated colonial requirements, production and distribution, and the Supplies Department represented in Washington by the British Colonies Supply Mission, which was charged with maintaining the flow of civil supplies from North America to the colonies.
