Summary heading

PP240/2 – Outward ships passenger manifests, chronological series 

Function and purpose

This series comprises lists – Form P1 – showing details of persons departing from the port of Fremantle and Perth Airport for the period 1923 to 1958. 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.
