Series notes:
Files of clients who received loans from the Agricultural Bank, or development assistance from either the Department of Industrial Development or the Tasmanian Development Authority. The Agricultural Bank maintained separate files for each of its clients and for each statute under which it dealt with them. The bank provided loans to primary producers under a range of statutes. Very few of these files have been selected for preservation (see DA No 19). Files for clients assisted under the Closer Settlement Acts (previously accessioned separately) form the bulk of this series. The bank coded its files according to the type of loan and filed them in alphabetical sequences.. The Department of Industrial Development provided loans to assist companies establishing in Tasmania. Files for these clients were stored in the Department's alphabetically arranged general correspondence. The Tasmanian Development authority, which inherited the functions of both the above bodies, inter-sorted the existing files relating to current loans into a single alphabetical sequence. The TDA allocated 6 digit numbers to all new files but stored them in the alphabetical sequence. This series comprises all client files relating to Closer Settlement (CS), War Service (WS or WST) and Corporate loans paid out prior to the implementation of DA No 19 in October 1994 and includes some Primary Industry loans under various Acts made to CS or WS clients. These latter, and their identifying codes, are as follows: BIA ( Beef Industry Assistance Act 1975), MD (Marginal Dairy Farm Reconstruction Act 1974), RR, RRA or RRB (Rural Reconstruction Act 1971) and SA (State Advances Act 1935).
