This series of microfilms have been called Miscellaneous and include some additional records held by the National Archives. AJCP Handbook Part 8 sets out summarised details of the microfilm reels included in this Miscellaneous series. For more information about AJCP click on link below."

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0020783775900497 "The agreement between the National Library and the Library of New South Wales forming the Australian Joint Copying Project was drawn up in October 1945. It became operational in 1948 and since then has provided for the filming of official documents in the Public Record Office in London and other records in archives, libraries, societies and in private possession in the British Isles and Europe relating to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. In the past 26 years over five and a half thousand rolls of negative microfilm have been produced and positive of this film distributed to libraries participating in the project. The project partners can be justifiably proud of its reputation both for longevity-the A.J.C.P. is believed to be the oldest continuous manuscript copying project in existence-and its geographical and subject scope, and for the degree of co-operation between Australian, New Zealand and Pacific libraries which it has fostered."

His efforts in locating, describing and microfilming important research materials about Australia were enormously significant. It has enabled researchers in Australia to view records they would otherwise have had to travel to Britain to use. "
