How to Use the Records

These files are part of a split series; they have been transferred by National Archives, who still hold that portion of records within Commonwealth jurisdiction, such as those relating to defence and Aboriginal sacred sites.

Function / Content

This series consists of survey files that document the Commonwealth administration of Northern Territory lands through the Lands and Survey Branch. The series includes staff files, surveyors' diaries, correspondence, proposals, reports, and plans relating to a variety of land surveys. Noteworthy items include surveys relating to historical sites, such as old homestead site of Elsey Station (Unit 110, Item S1521), with survey plans and notes regarding the site's history. Other surveys relate to agricultural development, such as the Batchelor-Adelaide River scheme (Unit 111, Item S1552).
