Most of these records are those of the Treasury, and have mainly been split into four groups: those before the major reorganisation of 1919 and those since that reorganisation relating to finance, establishments and supply and economic planning. There is also, however, a small group of general records reflecting subjects across departmental boundaries. There is a sizeable group of the records of various commissions and committees that dealt with financial, economic and establishment matters as well as one of the private and official papers of Treasury officials. There are, finally, smaller groups of records reflecting the work of the Treasury in Ireland during 1920 to 1922 and that of the Ceremonial Branch in the administration of the public honours system.
Also included are records of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's office as well as of other related but subsidiary departments.
