Brief history: Records dating back to the 1860s were discovered in 1954 when the bank started preparing for its centenary in 1962. In the mid 1960s a pensioner was made custodian of the records. From 1970 appeals were made to employees to donate old records, but no formal acquisition policy existed. In May 1974 an "archivist" was appointed to expand the public relations function. In addition to research and writing functions, a concerted effort to collect and sort material and provide finding aids followed. The year 1980 saw the introduction of greater professionalism with the appointment of trained archivists.
