Government Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource
for local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields
throughout Australia. They are published by governments and their agencies as a
means of communication to officials and to the general public. Gazettes
therefore contain a range of valuable and interesting content such as the
following list of information:
- Acts of Parliament
- government appointments, resignations and transfers, including: Justices of
the Peace and returning officers
- government departments
- insolvents
- land acquisitions, rentals, sales and leases
- mining and minerals
- petition
The 2700+ pages contain a wealth of information on the people and happenings
of Tasmania throughout the year 1913. The events and people mentioned throughout
cover a wide cross-section of society, so there is potential for anyone to be
listed in a Government Gazette, for any number of reasons.
