2014.0018 [ADMINISTRATION RECORDS, PUBLICATIONS AND OBJECTS]
Date Range of Records: 1877-1995
Creator(s):
- Commercial Travellers' Association [1880-]
Comprises the administrative records, publications and some objects of the Commercial Travellers Association of Victoria (CTA) as well as some records, publication and objects of the United Commercial Travellers Association of Australia (UCTAA), whose administration was based in the same offices in Melbourne.

Administrative records include financial records relating to the various funds created for the members’ benefit (such as the Mortuary Benefit Fund) and other aspects of the CTA’s operations (such as the Club’s operations and general administration). There are series of minutes and board related records, some membership records and subject files.

These administrative records are a continuation of the previous (1979.0162) transfer.

There are also a small number of objects including a lever press seal, a bust of the General Secretary James Davies (d1931), sporting trophies and framed letters.

Some records are identifiable as originating with The UCTAA, notably some correspondence, annual reports, photographs and publications. Material from the UCTAA has been identified wherever possible.
