Series note |
The series consists of large format sheets that detail names and descriptions of passengers leaving Australia by ship. The lists are separated into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class passengers, with information comprising nationality, race (in early versions), country of last residence, country of intended residence and ticket number, there are also details of the ship, and summary (statistical) of passengers. The final folio contains the signature of the master of the ship and the customs stamp of port of departure.
The basic sheet has provision for the names of 26 passengers. Additional sheets are printed from 27 - 100: blank sheets are used beyond that. These latter sheets (for beyond 26 passengers) are merely lists.
The series was used for statistical information by the Commonwealth Bureau of Census and Statistics.
Passenger records prior to 1924 are held by various State Archives and Regional Offices of Australian Archives. |
