Annual meeting notices, annual reports, correspondence, press clippings, and Railway Institute Council ballot results have been pasted into the volume. Custody HistoryFrom 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an ‘in house archives’ consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the ‘State Rail Archives’ the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as series R87. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R87 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.本卷宗收录了铁路学会理事会（Railway Institute Council）历次会议的议事记录。会议议题涵盖学会的教育项目、场馆使用管理、图书馆建设需求以及预算支出事项，因此记录中包含课程委员会、场馆委员会、图书馆委员会与预算委员会的相关报告。此外，本卷宗内还粘贴有年度会议通知、年度报告、往来信函、新闻剪报以及铁路学会理事会投票结果等配套材料。 保管历史：1955年至2000年间，新南威尔士州铁路局（State Rail Authority of New South Wales）设立内部档案馆（in-house archives），馆藏涵盖该局、其前身机构以及政府接管的私营铁路公司的档案记录，这批档案的时间跨度为1849年至2000年。当决定关停州铁路档案馆（State Rail Archives）时，符合州档案留存要求的馆藏部分被移交至新南威尔士州档案管理局（State Records Authority of NSW）。该批档案系列被纳入州档案管理体系的档案序列系统，并重新进行了编号。 本档案系列原属于州铁路档案馆馆藏，当时编号为R87系列。在州铁路档案馆存续期间，该馆藏或曾以R87系列编号被查阅，且州铁路档案馆的研究人员在笔记、已出版或未出版作品中，可能曾以此编号对其进行标注引用。
