This series of Historical Indexes of the Canberra/Queanbeyan region is a
remarkable collection of information, which has been compiled onto four CD-ROMs,
and published by the Heraldry and Genealogy Society of Canberra. The four CDs
contain a combined total of thirty-three individual files, which total
approximately 29,900 records.
The collection is attributed to the teacher, archivist and historian, Errol
Lea-Scarlett, who compiled these records for his own research purposes from
various public and private sources during the 1960s–1970s. Therefore, the
researcher using this collection must be aware that the material incorporated in
these volumes is incomplete and all data should be verified with the appropriate
primary sources.
