text: Government Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields throughout Australia. They are published by governments and their agencies as a means of communication to officials and to the general public. Included here are four volumes of the Hobart Gazette: 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906.
  "What information can I find in these gazettes?"
  Acts of parliament
  Government appointments, resignations and transfers, including: Justices of the Peace and returning officers
  Government departments
  Insolvents
  Land acquisitions, rentals, sales and leases
  Mining and minerals
  Petitions
  They're a great genealogy resource for anyone exploring their Tasmanian family history or building a family tree - as well as being perfect for social historians researching the Hobart area.
