'Each year the Administrator of the Northern Territory prepared a detailed report summarising the administration of the Territory over the previous 12 months. Attached to the annual reports were a series of individual reports prepared by the Directors of the departments within the Administration. Copies of the reports were included in bound sets of Commonwealth Parliamentary Papers. A reference set of Administrators' Annual Reports is held by the National Archives in Darwin.
The Administrators' reports provide a wide range of information about the Territory and matters affecting its administration. They also include statistical information from each department.'
