Archival history
A portion of records were maintained in the Energy and Industry Information Center (EISIC) where they were under the control of the Bank's Records Management unit and organized according to the center's classification system. Inactive records in the EISIC were sent to the World Bank Group Archives in 1988. The remainder of the records in this series were transferred in 2004 by the IBRD Industry and Mining Division (COCPD) according to approved records retention schedules.

Content and structure area
Scope and content
Series consists of records related to partnerships and collaborative activities between external organizations and the Industrial Projects Department (IPD) units and successors between 1979 and 1985 and 1995 to 1999. Records provide information about common initiatives with partners in the industrial and mining sector, collaborative programs, and senior staff participation on high-level committees or events.
Most of the small set of files that were maintained in the Energy and Information Center (EISIC) document the participation of Division Chief L. Hartsell Cash, Projects, Mining and Heavy Machinery Division (IPDD2) in the United Nations Revolving Fund for Natural Resources Exploration working groups and Joint Operations Group (JOG) meetings (1979 - 1983). Other individual files include the International Labor Organization (1983 - 1986), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Research and Development in Integrated Resource Recovery programme (1984), and Business Partners for Development (BPD) mining cluster (1997 - 2000). Record types include: draft and final reports; minutes of United Nations Revolving Fund working group and JOG meetings; JOG progress and quarterly reports; internal memoranda and letters with representatives of external organizations.
The series also contains four files (1997 - 1999) related to the Bank-led Clean Coal Initiative (CCL) launched at a roundtable in June 1996. Specific records include: letters and facsimiles from IENIM Division Chief Peter Van der Veen to Energy Sector Management and Assistance Program (ESMAP) donors and stakeholders concerning financial support for a pilot "project" based in China; letters with consultants; strategic framework and reform priorities for China; draft articles on the Bank's involvement in coal and CCL; project description (also referred to as study program); Terms of Reference; coal price data; back-to-office-report; and other external reference articles and reports. Records were maintained by Principal Mineral Engineer John Strongman who was later succeeded by Principal Mining Engineer and Task Manager Christopher Wardell
Appraisal, destruction and scheduling
Accruals
Further accruals are expected.
System of arrangement
The Industry and Energy Office of the Director (IENDR) and predecessors' responsibility and oversight of multiple sectors over time (energy, manufacturing and mining industry, chemicals, telecommunications), as well as the recordkeeping system of the Energy and Industry Information Service Center (EISIC) that maintained department working files, often resulted in folders containing records of more than one sector.
Record groups specific to industry and mining sector liaison and cooperative programs are arranged in this series. Other records related to energy sector partner organizations, or general liaison files that contain some overlap between energy, industry and mining, are arranged in the Energy Sector functional series.
Records are arranged by partnership organization or by subject.
