CD record

Government Gazettes contain a vast amount of historical and genealogical information. However they are largely untapped resources. The few complete runs that are available are usually only found in major libraries. And even for researchers who do have access to these the sheer size and extent of the Gazettes is daunting.

NOW that is all changing - with the publication on CD which can be searched readily on all text.

Tens of thousands of ordinary people and localities small and large are mentioned EACH YEAR in Government Gazettes. But they offer researchers much more than simply names and places. They will help you reconstruct events and circumstances in the life of individuals and communities.

The whole text of the volume (totalling 843 pages) is searchable. Search for any word in the text - names, places and more.

System Requirements: Any computer using Adobe (Acrobat) Reader 4 or later, Adobe Reader 6 or later is recommended for CDs with searchable text
