            [history] => 

	The Staff Cards were transferred to Archives New Zealand from the Head Office of the Ministry of Social Development. The Ministry inherited the cards from the National Office of the Department of Work and Income.

	The Ministry of Social Welfare knew Little about the creation and control of the records, apart from the Staff Cards containing information on individual employees of the the following former government agencies:

	

		Child Welfare, Department of Education, c.1930 - 1972
	

		Pensions Department, c.1930 - 1939 
	

		Social Security Department 1939 - 1972
	

		Department of Social Welfare 1972 - 1987.


	There are approximately 29,000 Staff Cards, arranged in alphabetical order by surname, which contain a summary  on individuals of employment history and personal details.  Among the information on individuals on the Staff Cards is the following categories: 

	

		Name
	

		Maiden name
	

		Date of birth
	

		Appointment date
	

		Resignation date
	

		Positions held, and when appointed
	

		Location(s) of employment
	

		Recommendation on suitability for future employment.


	The amount of information on each Staff Card varies.
