    Abstract
    Experiential knowledge of government business among clerks in the Treasury's paper room stimulated new logs to control transit of records and classified indexes to expand recall of business beyond personal memory. Despite a flowering of expertise in records matters before the First World War, effective changes were compromised by the volume of paper work, inherent limitations of format, and the increased speed of business. Additional staff was the favoured option for keeping up because it did not imply re-thinking the format of records, optimum linking of their physical and intellectual control, or changed operations of the paper room and re-assignment of staff. Classified indexes, a Victorian achievement in the Treasury, held the central service together until the restrictions of format and space for files and for registration notes and for paper room operations led to a new system of registration and classification in 1920. The Victorian separation of initial registration from ultimate classification was replaced by the union of the two processes at the beginning; the principle of file formation changed from one letter, one file, to one subject, one file.

    Abstract
    The organization of registries emerged in the First World War as a persistent problem in the British Civil Service. The Treasury's re-organization in 1919 and consequent changes in its Registry in 1920, highlight concern for efficiency and better control over information and practices. Despite lip service to the importance of official knowing in records, models were imperfectly implemented and registries did not establish effective lasting control over written communications. Official records were, by 1940, only a small part of the Treasury's recorded communications
