Description of this SeriesDescription of this Series
  • How to use the Records
    Scan the Records Description List to locate the relevant record.

  • Function / Content
    This series consists of folders containing copies of outward correspondence from the Port of Portland Authority (VA 1427). The letters relate to the entire range of business conducted by the agency.

  • Recordkeeping System
    Copies of outward correspondence were arranged alphabetically by name of correspondent.

    The agency used a filing system where inward and outward correspondence, and other related papers were filed together on a general correspondence file. For these series refer to VPRS 11907 General Correspondence Files, Alpha-Numeric System, VPRS 11909 General Correspondence Files, Alphabetical Order by Name of Correspondent and VPRS 11906 General Correspondence. It is not known whether a copy of the outward letter was consistently filed on the general correspondence files.

    For the period 1955-71 outward correspondence was arranged in an annual single number system (VPRS 11908 Outward Correspondence, Annual Single Number System). It is unclear whether outward correspondence for the period 1992 to 1996 was maintained, and had not been located at the time of transfer.
