CD record

You can expect to find people named within their categories or government departments including as follows:

• Legislative Council
• Government employees in alphabetical order
• Governor’s staff
• Colonial Secretary’s staff
• Executive Council staff
• Staff listed by government department
• Return of officers giving security for due discharge of duties
• Consuls
• School head teachers, members of Boards of Education and attendance officers

Blue Books are summaries of governmental activities and contain many statistical records determined by the activities of the government and the economy and as such can prove useful references for determining an historical perspective at a given point in time. Given the lack of census records in Australia, these publications can often provide similar records for government employees.
