Administrative / biographical background:

In the course of the twentieth century, the Office of Works and its successor ministries were reorganised on many occasions, in response to changing responsibilities and the addition or removal of functions from the department. From the nineteenth century onwards, the broad groupings of administrative (policy-making) and executive areas of work remained constant, but the various divisions, directorates and departments responsible for particular acclivities changed frequently over time.

Most of the divisions and departments represented here were set up in the second half of the twentieth century.
