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
- Petitions
