	The 4/ files in this series, transferred as accession W3108, present some problems. The file covers seem to have been replaced, and part numbers assigned very haphazardly. The part numbers of files sometimes bear little relation to the order in which the files were actually created. Where this new order was particularly erratic files have been listed in date order and the original part number restored, in square brackets.

	Files from this series are also contained in series 26055 - Wairoa Office Conservation (Lands and Survey) files - which were transferred by the Department of Conservation.

            [history] => 

	In 1915 a multiple number subject filing system was introduced for all District Offices of the Department of Lands and Survey. Each District Office was required to adopt this file classification system.

	Lands and Survey's core function of government and administration is covered in most of the major sub-series types. Additional sub-series were created to cover the administrative activities of District Offices.

	As it was the department’s inaugural ‘classified subject’ filing system, the concept of such was not fully understood and initially all records were consigned to a series 3. The 3/- subseries remained a repository for miscellaneous subjects and housekeeping files throughout the many years that the filing system was used.

	Some variation existed between the District Offices and over time certain sub-series were discontinued, new ones created and in some cases reused. The sub-series used by the District Offices differed from the multiple number subject file system adopted by Lands and Survey Head Office.

	In approximately 1980, a second sequence of the District Office filing system (series 25569) was created to replace this series although documents continued to be added to the files. Some files were reclassified (i.e. top-numbered) into the second sequence.

	On 1 April 1987 the Department of Conservation inherited the responsibility for national parks and reserves from the Department of Lands and Survey, and took over some of the records from this series. These records were held by the Hawke's Bay (1987-1997), East Coast Hawke's Bay (1997-2009), and Wellington Hawke's Bay (2009-2013) Conservancy Offices.
