Communication Managers' Association, earlier the Association of Post Office Controlling Officers and the Post Office Management Staff's Association, and predecessors

This collection includes: executive minutes and papers; annual reports; conference reports; papers concerning arbitrations, salary claims and agreements; branch minutes.

In January 1952 the Post Office Controlling Officers' Association, the Central Telegraph Superintending Officers' Association and the London Postal Superintending Officers' Association, all members of the Federation of Post Office Supervising Officers, amalgamated together as the Association of Post Office Controlling Officers. The final member of the Federation, the Postal Inspectors' Association, did not join the Association until 1959. In 1969 the APOCO became the Post Office Management Staffs Association, changing its name again to the Communication Managers' Association in 1981.
