            [history] => 

	In 1999, Archives New Zealand was approached by the Historical Branch of the Department of Internal Affairs regarding this collection of papers held by John Martin, who was then leaving the Branch.

	

	The papers were collected by Patricia Norton while she was working as librarian at the Head Office of the Department of Labour. It appears likely that the papers were assembled together as part of an early attempt to write the official history of the Department in the 1980s.

	

	The papers were subsequently made available to John Martin, for use in his writing of the official history of the Department of Labour; Holding the Balance: A History of New Zealand's Department of Labour 1891-1995 (Christchurch, 1996).

	

	The Norton Collection transfer also included seven registered files from the Department of Labour's Multiple Number Subject filing system, which have been processed into series 947. Please see the series documentation and lists for further information.

	

	Please note: The material in this series dated pre-c.1950 is copied, not original, material.
