They appear to be a complete and comprehensive record of meetings from this period.The first meeting was held 4th February 1888, followed by a special meeting on 7th February to appoint a Registrar. The minutes document the meeting proceedings, which include correspondence and business arising, reports of committees, payment of accounts, ordinary business and special business.
The early board minutes were handwritten, and some reports and correspondence were copied into the minute book. From April 1907, minutes were typed and pasted into the books.
