| Miss Mathilde E. Deane, working at the Public Record Office in London in 1929-1930, compiled an index (sometimes referred to as The Settlers' Letter Index) to miscellaneous letters by or about settlers, military and individuals in the Colonial Office series of records including (in the early portion), both New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land. She indexed by name of the letter writer only with a precis of the contents and notation of persons' names mentioned therein. This CD is a composite index of all names noting whether the person listed was the writer or subject of the letter and cross-referencing both letter writer and subject. There is a large volume of correspondence exchanged between public figures of the day, much concerned with political wrangling and court cases. This index contains 16,189 records. The whole CD can be searched, and pages can be enlarged and printed if required. All other titles in this series:
