History of the CSYB
In 1935 the 'British
Imperial Calendar and Civil Service List' was first published by
HMSO. It was subsequently renamed the 'Civil Service Year Book'
in 1974. It was produced on an annual basis at first, but changes
in the Civil Service meant that the content became rapidly out of
date so it is now published twice a year as a printed directory
and online.
CSYB

Following the
very successful relaunch of the CSYB in April 2003, the 41st edition
has now been published. It contains an improved index and layout

for anybody looking for information on the structures and personnel
in the Civil Service. This new edition has:
- Free-to-view
helpdesk and enquiry numbers for the main departments on the website
- Improved
design throughout to help highlight key information

throughout to aid navigation
