Council Minutes, Agenda and Papers

The first item in this series, B.1/1, contains minutes of just five General Purposes Committee meetings, 1856-1858; the remainder comprises reports and minutes of various other Society meetings.

After 1981 no bound volumes of official minutes were kept. B.1/17-29 (except B.1/18) comprise files of loose minutes, agenda and meeting papers, which have been integrated from various boxes and files in the deposit, including the set kept by officers such as the Treasurer and Secretary. In some cases they are supplemented by related correspondence and other documents which were filed with the official meeting papers. In the list these are described as 'associated papers'. Associated papers are filed with the relevant meeting or year and where the originating officer is known this is stated within the file. Many of the minutes are unsigned and the agenda and meeting papers are incomplete sets and often contain annotations. Where two versions of minutes were found, one of which is probably a draft, a copy of each has been kept. Two copies have also been kept where the signed copy is not the best copy.
