A selection of old National Archives laundry lists, mostly cut-and-pasted from the original text files:
Some aspects of British traffic signing at the National Archives remain essentially untouched, notably the administrative run-ups to the 1922 circular letter on standardisation of road direction posts and signs, and the 1933 (?) traffic signing committee report.
Raw notes files from archives visits
When I visit an archives, I typically create a notes file which contains information on each file examined. This section contains the raw notes files arranged in date order (lightly edited as necessary to remove personal references and other content unsuitable for publication on the open Web for reasons of privacy). A list of the files consulted and described in the notes follows each date entry. Earlier entries for the National Archives may include retyped extracts from memoranda since they pre-date the general grant of permission for digital photography in (approximately) the summer of 2003. Currently I keep notes files in plain text format in order to allow easy searching and recompilation using command-line tools, but in the past I kept them in Microsoft Word format; no attempts have been made here to preserve formatting as used in the original Word files. Some notes may use obscure abbreviations but typically the expansions will be obvious from the context (examples: cttee = committee; bd = board; LBM = London-Birmingham Motorway; BBM = Bristol-Birmingham Motorway; AP = all-purpose [i.e., open to all vehicles with no control of access for agricultural traffic]; BP = bypass; DC = dual carriageway).
