This was the main ANU correspondence file series from 1950 to 2000, usually known as ‘Central Files’. It contains some earlier material top-numbered from the first ANU file series (ANUA 18) as well as many files of the Canberra University College (ANUA 42) from 1930 to 1960. These files were incorporated in the series by the former Registrar of the Canberra University College Thomas Owen. The files were originally controlled by a card index and file register – the information contained in these was transferred to a computerised keyword index in 1975 and in 2006 to the current Central Records System. The multiple numbers consist of a primary subject often representing a Research School, Faculty or other organisational unit, a secondary number representing a function and then the next sequential number allocated to a particular file. The primary numbers (not all have extant files) are:
- Vice-Chancellor’s correspondence
- Legislation and policy
- Council and Committees
- Administrative matters (including staff organisation)
- Scholars and scholarships
- Research School of Pacific (and Asian) Studies
- John Curtin School of Medical Research
- Research School of Physical Sciences
- Research School of Social Sciences
- Visitors, visits, conferences and seminars
- Library
- Buildings
- Research School of Chemistry
- Other organisations (including Canberra University College 14.1.0)
- Staff activities
- University House
- Research students
- Ceremonies and historic occasions
- Joint ventures (Institute and School)
- School of General Studies (see also 30–44)
- Research School of Biological Sciences
- Research School of Earth Sciences
- Management Services Group
- Research School of Mechanical Sciences (proposed)
- Health research
- Centre for Resource and Environment Studies
- Humanities Research Centre
- Office for Research in Academic Methods
- Social Psychiatry Research Unit
- School of General Studies – scholarships

Many personnel files were raised in this series either under the general ‘4.2 Staff appointments’ or under the secondary ‘staff’ function of particular organisational units. These files are controlled in a separate series of staff files (ANUA 19) from several different series. This series was superseded by an annual single number series in 2000 (ANUA 239).
