Government Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields throughout Australia. They were published by the government as a means of communication to officials and the general public and therefore contain information that is of great use in establishing an image of the colony of South Australia and its people in the past. The range of information includes:

• land transactions
• legal notices
• notice of acts
• impoundments
• absconders
• deserters
• partnerships
• licences
• contracts
• convict matters
• government institutions and positions
• statistics

They have information covering a broad spectrum of the community with important details and facts on thousands of people
