The New South Wales Educational Gazette was issued monthly and contains a wealth of information for family, local and educational historians. Now you can have two year the gazette to browse or search at your own convenience - a resource you may not have had ready access to, or time to use on a library - or perhaps may not have known existed. And the ability to search any word in the text enables you to check for any person, place or word in the text, a task too often too intimidating before this new searchable CD edition.
