Government Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields throughout Australia. They are published by governments and their agencies as a means of communication to officials and to the general public. Gazettes therefore contain a range of valuable and interesting content such as the following list of information:

• Acts of Parliament
• government appointments, resignations and transfers, including Justices of the Peace and returning officers
• government departments
• insolvents
• land acquisitions, rentals, sales and leases
• mining and minerals
• petitions
