Civil Service Commission: Files Series II

Description and record details

Reference	CSC 5
Title	Civil Service Commission: Files Series II
Date	1888-1983
Description	Mainly registered files in the Civil Service Commission's plain number file series (from number 4001 dated 1908), but including some 'Miscellaneous' and other prefix file series reflecting all aspects of open competitive appointments to Civil Service posts. In addition, the series includes a few earlier files more properly belonging to Series I (CSC 3) and some files relating to the Fulton Committee on the Civil Service. These records follow on from those in CSC 2 and CSC 3 and overlap in date with records in both those series.
Arrangement	There have been thirty accruals of plain number files and nine accruals of 'Miscellaneous' prefix files into the class and the former reference number ranges of each accrual overlap. Readers searching for specific subjects need therefore to be guided by the date ranges of CSC 2, CSC 3 and CSC 5, and to look through the whole of the CSC 5 catalogue for material dated 1888 and later.
Related material	The main papers for the Fulton Committee on the Civil Service are in BA 1
Separated material	Files formerly of a particularly sensitive nature were removed to CSC 9
Held by	The National Archives, Kew
Legal status	Public Record(s)
Physical description	1913 file(s)
