HOW TO ARRANGE COPIES OF THE FILES:

The information reproduced above has been taken from police correspondence files held in the Public Record Office North Melbourne repository.  Much of it is from the c200 boxes of uncatalogued material that I have been examining over a number of years.  Please note that I do not have copies of the materials in my possession – it is all stored at the Public Record Office.  However I am willing to arrange for photocopies to be made of a file, but ask a fee of $35 to do so – plus the cost of copying and postage.  The PRO charge for photocopying is 65c per page, and there is usually a wait of 7-10 days before it is ready for collection.  Please note that the PRO will not permit photocopying of photographs, and the minimum charge for a copy of a photograph is $7.  However the PRO also now offers a digital copy of a photo, produced on a CD, for $15.  There is a quicker turnaround with the digital copy.

Anyone wishing to avail themselves of my offer to arrange copying should contact me for further details. Email: hdh1atozemail.com.au (replace the ‘at’ with the usual @ sign.)  PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL BE UNABLE TO PROCESS REQUESTS FOR COPIES FROM 1 SEPTEMBER TO 1 NOVEMBER 2010.
