Function / Content

This series consists of correspondence files from the Primary Producers Board, Northern Territory Administration. The Primary Producers Board was established as a result of a conference called by the Federal Minister of Home and Territories during his visit to Darwin in 1923. The aim of the Board was to establish a fishing industry and to relieve the destitute section of the community, consisting mainly of Malays and Coloured people. The first meeting of the Board was on 27 August 1923. The Board was formally established by Ordinance No 21 of 1924 of the Northern Territory of Australia, cited as the Encouragement of Primary Industry Production Ordinance and gazetted on 26 September 1924. The files contain correspondence relating to advances and loans granted or refused under the Encouragement of Primary Industry Production Ordinance to individuals and companies. If not approved then the reason for refusal is contained within the files. The approved files contain the application for the advancement or loan with invoices, receipts, statements, and bill of sales for machinery, equipment, boats, fencing, seeds or livestock and finalization of loan. Some language used in these records (which reflects the language used at the time the records were created) may be offensive. This collection may contain references to Aboriginal people who have died, which may cause sadness and distress to their relatives. No offence has been intended by making these records available. Care and discretion should be used when viewing these records.
