A consolidated index to all Notices in
the Queensland Government Gazette 1859-1919 excluding
(in particular) notices relating to Intestacy, Insolvency
and Wills and Members of School Committees which have been
published separately as major QFHS indexes in their own
right.
The CD includes approximately 125,000
indexed notices covering name, title, topic, location,
volume, year and page(s) relating to the entry. The actual
Notice in the Gazette will provide additional information,
the exact nature of which will depend on the topic. The
actual entries give the full names of the persons referred
to and many of the Trade Mark and Patent Notices refer to
people residing in the other Australian colonies and
overseas.
Searching the index by name, topic,
location and year is made easy using the popular searching
and sorting capabilities of our very own developed
QFHSdatasearch interface. Features include field oriented
and keyword searches, Boolean selection, sorting, wildcard
searches and, when applicable, links between search
results and images held in pdf files of the source
records.
Government Gazettes contain a wealth of
information on a wide range of topics and finding
information on particular individuals can be a daunting
task. Each volume has an index to its Notices, but no
consolidated index has previously been available to
facilitate access.
Researchers will therefore welcome this
CD to make the task of searching so much easier.
