Some Primary Sources
|

|

(A) Battye Library
|
- Newspapers
Perth Gazette
Inquirer
Fremantle Herald
These newspapers are available on microfilm.
- Convict Department Records: Fremantle Gaol
These are listed in detail in search guide AN258
under Accession Number 1156. Because many of them
are stored in buildings elsewhere you will probably
be required to fill out a call slip and allow 2
to 3 days for material to become available. The
following are examples of the kinds of records to
be found in this category:
Convict Registers – detailing prisoners’
records, and providing information about their experiences
in the system (punishments, ticket-of-leave work
etc. Record Nos. R.1-R.31.)
Letter Books (eg Supt. Lefroy to the Comptroller-General
1865-1869: Accession No 1156, C.32).
Superintendent’s Order Books
Both these give details of the day-to-day
running of Fremantle Prison and of the realities
of convict experience.
Occurrence Books & Warders’ Journals
(egs Reports & occurrences at the Mount Eliza
Hiring Depot, 1852-68. Toodyay Depot 1859-66.)
Medical Registers & Hospital
Occurrence Books 1855-74
- Fremantle Asylum. AN200/1. Accession No. 1120
Eg. Admission Book 1857-1896 – this
lists admissions, identifying individuals as
‘expiree’, ‘pauper’, ‘free’ ‘pensioner’.
- Convict System & Transportation
Further Correspondence on the subject of Convict
Discipline, Vols. 4-8, 343.2, 1849-1865
Includes Arrival Reports by the Comptroller-General,
regulations for ticket-of-leave holders, Governor’s
despatches and convict statistics, all of which
were sent to the Secretary of State for the Colonies
in London.
Annual Reports of the Convict Establishment
1865-1869
- Convict Ships
The Wild Goose – manuscript periodical
compiled on board last convict ship Hougoumont,
1868.

you need to ask for them at the Information Services
