            [history] => 
This series contains files created by the Wellington Education Board and registered in their central filing system.
The files are arranged by the multiple number subject system of classification. In this system, files were arranged by a main subject using numbers from 1/- upwards, including:
1/- School Sites
1A/- Integration (of private schools into the state education system)
2/- School Accommodation
4B/- Swimming Pools
5/- School Committee Projects
6/- School Dental Clinics
7/- School Residences
8/- Vandalism
9/- Manual Training
15/- General
A sub-subject number was then assigned, which represented individual schools or school areas - for example:
2/417 Accommodation - Miramar Central
4B/417 Swimming Pools - Miramar Central
5/417 School Committee Projects - Miramar Central
6/417 Dental Clinics - Miramar Central
8/417 Vandalism - Miramar Central
There are some instances were sub-subject numbers represented other matters and issues.
This series was introduced in approximately 1914, around the time the Public Service Commission undertook a review of departmental recordkeeping systems and recommended changes to a series system of classification. It likely replaced an annual single number system of classification.
The series was disestablished in 1989 when the Wellington Education Board was disestablished pursuant to the Education Act 1989. 
Provenance
The records in Series 7751 W5082 were created by the Wellington Education Board and inherited, at some unknown date, by the Department of Education Head Office. The files cover accommodation, sites and buildings for particular schools under the control of the Wellington Education Board. The date range of the files is 1922-1995.

Readers should note that the bulk of the Wellington Education Board material, accessions W3569 (1872-1989) and W3677 (1879-1989), was transferred to Archives New Zealand by the Residual Management Unit. Established in 1989 to wind up the affairs of the Department of Education, the RMU units were based in each Education Board area.

Series 7751 W5082 is, therefore, just a small serialised part of the main correspondence filing system of the Wellington Education Board. At the present time it covers only building and site files. Further building and site files can be found in accessions W3569 and W3677. The bulk of the transferred Wellington Education Board material has not yet been serialised and remains in the unserialised accession W3569.
