Summary heading
PP110/1 – Outward ships and aircraft passenger manifests,
chronological series
Function and purpose
This series comprises lists showing details of persons
departing from the port of Fremantle and Perth Airport
for the year 1959. The lists are held in manilla
folders with the name of the ship (or flight number where appropriate), and
date of departure printed on the front covers.
System of arrangement and control
The series is arranged in chronological order by the date of
departure from Australia.
Relationships with other records
This series forms part of a large group of records that
document the movement of people into and out of Western Australia comprising
incoming and outgoing passenger lists, nominal rolls, crew lists and passenger
cards.
Passenger lists for Western
Australia were originally transferred to the Archives
as a large number of individual accession series. For incoming passenger lists,
the accession series were converted to one CRS K269, maintaining the original
chronological order. However, for the period 1904 to 1935, incoming passenger
lists for outports remain as PP281/3 and PP240/3. For
outgoing passenger lists, two accession series were converted to form CRS K1142
covering the period 1898 to 1958 however multiple accession series still
control outwards ships manifests for the period 1898 to 1978. Intellectual
relationships have been documented using appropriate series links.
Nominal rolls, crew lists, outwards passenger lists and
passenger cards remain as individual accession series, and in some cases form
part of CRS K47. Consult the relevant series links for details.
