Series consists of various registers and "reference books", apparently created or accumulated by the Civil Secretary in pursuit of official duties and formed into series covering the period 1764-1841, with a few items of earlier and later date. The early volumes reflect uncertainty or confusion about which duties fell to which office and the custom of using one bound volume for several purposes (the first being entered from the front and the second from the back of the volume). The links between several of these volumes and records in other series, and identification of records with the office of Clerk to the Executive Council, are under investigation.

The registers in volumes 2-18 record documents referred by the Civil Secretary to other offices for opinions or decisions, 1786-1838. (The volume for 1816-1818 is astray in RG 68, volume 1106.) The reintegration of volumes 19-20, registers of correspondence received, 1824-1830, and the registers for 1830-1834 in series A 2, volumes 107-108, is planned.
