Indexes
The Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office has developed indexes to some records which contain information about individuals.
Digitised card indexes
- Pretyman Index - For information about the origins of Tasmanian place names.
- Wayn Index - An index to colonial Tasmanian
Government records and colonial newspapers compiled by Amelia Lucy Wayn
during the period from the 1920s to 1940s.
- Whitfeld Index - A selective index of personal names found
in Tasmanian colonial newspapers, 1816-1900. There are a few entries for
the years after 1900. The main emphasis is on the names of members of
early settler and eminent families, though the scope is sometimes wider.
The main data recorded are for births, deaths and marriages, wills and
bequests, land grants and property sales. There is a small subsection of
topical and geographic subject entries. Mostly applicable to Northern Tasmania.
- Artists Index - An index of Tasmanian
visual artists (not including craftspeople) represented in one-person
and group exhibitions of which catalogues (some of which remain
uncatalogued) are held in the TAHO
collection.
