National Archives of Australia - Commonwealth Record Series (CRS) System

Commonwealth Record Series (CRS) System

The Commonwealth Record Series (CRS) is the system used to organise and describe records held in the National Archives of Australia. It was developed in the 1960s based on an idea of an archives staff member, Peter Scott. Under the CRS system, agencies (government departments, and statutory authorities) create series (that is groups of related records created by the agency) which are made up of items (records of any sort).
