| Title: | Home Office: Aliens Department: Aliens Personal Files |
| Description: |
This series contains a selection of files of the Aliens Department relating to individual aliens who entered the United Kingdom after 1935. Many pieces contain small photographs of the subjects of the files. |
| Date: | 1895-2007 |
| Arrangement: |
The Aliens Department opened a file for each individual alien. Up to 1935 these files formed part of the Home Office's main six-figure file series (see HO 45 and HO 144). After that date a new series for aliens was introduced in which the file number was allocated according to the first letter of the alien's surname and with the next available number. Six-figure files which were still live were incorporated into the new series. |
