Identifier: CCC/ARC/S24

Scope and Contents

Correspondence for Christchurch Drainage Board. Includes outwards correspondence in letterbooks 1922 – 1992 and inward correspondence files 1906 – 1987. The correspondence in this series is indexed across two separate indexes:

Inwards correspondence: CH362 contains index cards for filing numbers 21/ - 32/ which covers c.1919-1932 CH658 contains index cards for filing numbers 32/ onwards which covers 1932 onwards.
