| Administrative History | Student admission and academic information, as well as details on career and personal life after leaving Whitelands, were initially recorded in a variety of registers, often with overlapping timeframes and details. Early administrators then made a distinction between the ‘Green Books’ with often scant admission details (the earliest records), and the more detailed and columnated ‘General Register’. Volumes in the Whitelands Register /Register of Students series are chronological and sequential from 1843 until 1956 and form the main records series.
The system used to number students was revised in 1888, resulting in earlier students having two admission numbers. The ongoing sequential numbering appears to have been abandoned in 1907.
