1. 1. The Sind mission files containing papers describing events up to the battle of Meanee in 1843, and
   2. Records of Sir Charles James Napier about his administration in Sindh from 1843 to 1847 were kept separate from those subsequent to 1847. The basis of sub-arrangement was according to the nature of correspondence contained in them.
2. The perusal of records from 1843 to 1847 reveals that government work was not divided into departments. This practice continued up to October 1847 when Sir Charles James Napier retired and the province was annexed to Bombay Presidency. Through the appointment of Commissioner, the government work for the first time was divided in the departments in September 1847. Government business was distributed into three main departments as under: 
   1. Revenue,
   2. Political, and
   3. General.
   The records of English and Vernacular up to 1857 were kept in separate racks according to departments, Mr. Richardson prepared 192 manuscript files in 1913, and Indexes and catalogues of 212 files were made.

1. In 1851, an attempt was made under the orders of the Bombay Government to introduce the compilation system of keeping records both in the Commissioner's office and in the offices of the district officers. According to this system, certain fixed numbers were allotted to different subjects under departments. Each subject head was again divided into several sub-heads and papers relating to each subhead were filed chronologically in a white cover, the compilation being identified by numbers given to them in serial order. At the close of the year, all correspondences were scrutinized and bound together in volumes of equal thickness, selected after the appraisal. The files were kept without alphabetical arrangement. This compilation system was brought into force in 1857 and files had been arranged chronologically of each department for the periods 1857 to 1909 and 1910 to June 1922.
2. The Maxwell System of office procedure was introduced in the Commissioner's office in June 1922. Since then, the arrangement for keeping the files was completely altered. According to this system, a separate case on a subject was given to an individual number and the whole correspondence on the cases was kept in chronological order. A general index was prepared in which all cases belonging to the several departments of the office were entered. It was printed and a copy of it was kept in the record room for the purpose of reference After sixty years when Sindh became an independent province on April 1, 1936 (Solvent, 1995, p-830), the practice of preserving record also went into oblivion. According to former. All the important record of general, judicial, political, public works and revenue departments preserved at Sindh Archives belong to pre 1920 era. All Commissioners offices in the subcontinent deposited their 20 years old records in the record rooms. When Sindh became the independent province, the process of depositing old record was stopped. The precious record preserved in the Record room was also neglected and laid in dark rooms without care from 1936 to 1992. Pakistan got independence and Karachi became the capital of the country in 1947. Consequently, a department of National Archives and Libraries was set up in 1949 under the Ministry of Education. When Islamabad became the capital, a Provincial Archives was built and after establishment there was a need to get archival record for preservation. The attention was paid to the neglected record. To take the care of this important record, it was handed over to Sindh Archives for preservation. Importance of Record

1. Three finding aids which were prepared by the commissioner office, (a) Alphabetical catalogue of the contents of pre-mutiny records of the commissioner in Sindh-1857 in 1931, printed by the commissioner's printing press, Karachi, (b) A hand book of the Government records lying in the office of the commissioner in Sind and in district offices in 1933, published by commissioner printing press, and (c) Catalogue of files kept in the commissioner's office library from 1857 to 1909 (Zafar, 1990, p. 504).
