            [authenticityNote] => This series description was compiled as part of a project to capture the finding aids created prior to 1987 into the GAIMS system. The dates of this series are based on the dates of holdings. Provenance: All the archives of the Superintendent and Provincial Secretary Offices prior to 1856 were destroyed in a fire which burnt down the provincial government's office buildings. After the abolition of the province in 1876 the archives of the Council, Superintendent, Secretary, and Treasurer seem to have been transferred directly to the Colonial Secretary's Department. It is fairly certain they remained in the custody of this Department, however it does not appear that anyone ever examined them. No inventory of the archives was made before 1919. From this Department (later known as the Department of Internal Affairs) the majority of the archives were transferred to the National Archives at various dates, between 1926 and 1952. The archives of the Provincial Engineer, Solicitor, and other provincial officials are missing without trace.

The first seven volumes contain the manuscript minutes of the proceedings of the Wellington Provincial Council throughout its twenty-eight sessions. Council papers, arranged according to session, form the remaining volumes, and they include some or all of the following: the Superintendent's messages and addresses to the Council, original copies of petitions, Bills, and ordinances, reports of Select Committees of the Council and evidence taken by them, reports by provincial officials, and statements of revenue and expenditure. The minutes of proceedings were published in full in the Journal of Proceedings of the Provincial Council as were most of the papers laid before the Council.
