The Appeals Tribunal was based on the existing county boundaries. In Cardiganshire's case it had up to ten members at any one time, one of whom was required by law to have legal training. Typically an Appeals Tribunal would recruit many of its members from county councillors. The secretarial duties were performed by a clerk, who, in this case, was Edgar Evans, the clerk to Cardiganshire County Council. He appears to have been responsible for the records. This series includes the core administrative documents: minute books, correspondence, notebooks, and lists of appeals. Further details about individual appeal cases can often be found in these records.

Individual appeal case papers, 1916-1918; official handbooks, circulars and statutes used by the Appeals Tribunal, 1916-1918; minutes, correspondence and working papers, 1916-1918, with brief details of cases considered; register of attendance, 1916-1918; correspondence relating to expense claims, 1916-1918; Clerk of Tribunal's notebooks, 1916-1918, with rough notes of individual cases; letters relating to individual appeal cases and correspondence with the Central Tribunal; list of appeals heard by the Cardiganshire Appeal Tribunal, 1916-1918; District appeal papers (Applications for Exemption and Notices of Appeal) and associated correspondence, 1916-1918; applications for medical examination and miscellaneous documents that appear to have strayed from the office of Edgar Evans, relating to electoral arrangements, 1918-1919, together with correspondence relating to electoral registers, 1918.

The notebooks contain rough notes of proceedings, including details of individual cases, later formally written up in CTB2/1/1.

These papers are Applications for Exemption and Notices of Appeal, together with associated correspondence, 1916-1918. The Tribunal was divided into districts as seen below. Each district has a register, found at the end of each bundle of cases, which acts as an index to the papers. The register gives details of name, address and occupation of each appellant, the reason for the appeal and the decision reached. It must be consulted to identify individual appeals. Each case number is noted in red ink in the register. A matching red number can then be found in the top right hand corner of the relevant papers in the appropriate file. However, it should be noted that the red reference numbers may not necessarily be found on the first page of an individual case. When ordering items, each district's register can be requested separately.
