c. 1935 - c. 1978
Description

Institution of Engineers Australia membership application forms were submitted in duplicate, with a copy being kept by the relevant local Division office and a master copy being forwarded and kept at Headquarters. From 1919 to 1974, Headquarters were in Sydney, and afterwards in Barton, ACT. If a member moved interstate, the Division copy of a member's file was transferred to the corresponding state Division. If they moved overseas, the copy remained within the Division. The master copy of membership files of past members is held in the archives of the Institution of Engineers Australia in Canberra, and some Division office copies have survived. After implementation of a centralised online computerised membership system in the early 1980s, the need for local duplicate records was considered superfluous.

Victoria Division, during the early 1970s, microfiched its copies of current membership records, and disposed of its hardcopy of current membership records. In the 1980s, after the computerised membership system was introduced, the microfiche copy of these local records was considered redundant.

This archive resource contains the surviving microfiche records. The archive is not complete as membership records for many known members listed in published membership lists are not within this collection.

Note that some earlier Victoria Division copies of membership records are contained in the manuscript collection at the State Library of Victoria YMS 1170.
