Series notes:

This series comprises a collection of loose papers bound together that illustrate the operations of the Barracks. Amongst the papers are memos that show the receipt and discharge of prisoners and for a short period of time this series is useful for looking at the movements of convicts in and out of the Barracks.

System of Arrangement:

The register in consignment two, CON154/2/1, is tightly bound which makes it difficult to read the inside sections of some pages.;;Some documents in the digitised version of the bound items have been captured in reverse order, so the pages before and after also need to be viewed to be sure all information is gathered.;;
