This index has been compiled by Mrs T. Thompson of Kalgoorlie from the following cemeteries and cemetery records: * Old Boulder - Anglican Section of the Cemetery Board Register 224 names * Headstones all denominations 41 names * Roman Catholic 189 names * Baptist 12 names * Presbyterian 69 names * Church of Christ 9 names * General 6 names * Methodist section 290 names * Bulong Headstones 19 names * Kanowna Cemetery Board Register * Ora Banda Cemetery * Siberia Cemetery. Entry into the index is by name of person being buried and information given is what appears on the headstone or what is transcribed in the burial register. This can include age; relatives eg: parents, wives, husbands, children; date of death, where lived (from headstone) plus denomination, Officiating clergyman, date of burial, name of Undertaker, residence of friends (if known), remarks (if any), grave number section and subsection (from Register). The Western Australian Biographical Index (WABI) is a highly used resource at the State Library of Western Australia. A recent generous contribution by the Friends of Battye Library (FOBS) has enabled SLWA to have the original handwritten index cards scanned and later transcribed. The dataset contains: a csv file with data describing card number, card text and url link to image of the original handwritten card. The transcription was crowd-sourced and we are aware that there are some data quality issues including: * Some cards are missing * Transcripts are crowdsourced so may contain spelling errors and possibly missing information * Some cards are crossed out. Some of these are included in the collection and some are not * Some of the cards contain relevant information on the back (usually children of the person mentioned). This info should be on the next consecutive card * As the information is an index, collected in the 1970s from print material, it is incomplete. It is also unreferenced. It is still a very valuable dataset as it contains a wealth of information about early settlers in Western Australia. It is of particular interest to genealogists and historians

It is still a very valuable dataset as it contains a wealth of information about early settlers in Western Australia. It is of particular interest to genealogists and historians The dataset contains: several csv files with data describing card number, card text and url link to image of the original handwritten card. Work began on WABI in the early 1970s when information was sought on people who lived in Western Australian prior to 1914. Publicity was sent out through local libraries, historical groups and in publication such as the West Australian. Western Australians were asked to provide genealogical information, not only on prominent identities, but also from their family records including the arrival in Western Australia, occupations, dates of birth, marriages and deaths of their ancestors. Historical material such as diaries, letters, business records, minute books, maps, family trees and photographs, were also sought for copying. Entries for the index closed in December 1979, and were filed at the Battye Library for reference.

To mark the centenary of World War I, the State Library is in the process of digitising material relating to this conflict. Items include photographs, books, letters, diaries, greeting cards and more. Replaced in July 2016 - more new digitised materials from the WWI Centenary Project.

The Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database (CAPAD) 2006 provides both spatial and text information about government, Indigenous and privately protected areas for continental Australia. State and Territory conservation agencies supplied data current for various dates between July 2006 and January 2007. This is the sixth version of the database, with previous versions released in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2004. CAPAD provides a snapshot of protected areas that meet the IUCN definition of a protected area:"A protected area is an area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effective means" (IUCN 1994).The department publishes a summary of the CAPAD data biennially on its website at https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/land/nrs/science/capad.Main attributes in the database include:NAME: the name of the protected area. Gazetted PAs with no name are flagged as "Unnamed" with a reserve number.TYPE: the type of protected area according to the protected area establishment mechanism.TYPE_ABBR: the abbreviation of the TYPE.ACCP=Conservation CovenantBG=Botanic Gardens (Commonwealth)CA=Conservation AreaCOR=Coastal ReserveCP=Conservation ParkCR=Conservation ReserveFR=Forest ReserveGR=Game ReserveHA=Heritage AgreementHER=Heritage RiverHIR=Historical ReserveHS=Historic SiteHTR=Hunting ReserveIPA=Indigenous Protected AreaMAA=Management Agreement AreaMCP=Marine and Coastal ParkMR=Miscellaneous ReserveNAP=Nature ParkNAPA=Nature Park (Aboriginal)NCA=Natural Catchment AreaNCR=Nature Conservation Reserve=Nature Conservation Reserve - Flora and Fauna Reserve=Nature Conservation Reserve - Flora Reserve=Nature Conservation Reserve - Wildlife Reserve (NCR classification)=Nature Conservation Reserve - Wildlife Reserve (no hunting)NF=Native ForestNFR=Natural Features Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Bushland Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Cave Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Geological Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Gippsland Lakes Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Natural Features and Scenic Reserve)=Natural Features Reserve - River Murray Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Scenic Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Streamside Reserve=Natural Features Reserve - Wildlife Reserve (hunting)=Natural Features Reserve - Wildlife Reserve (SGR classification)NP=National ParkNPA=National Park AboriginalNPC=National Park (Commonwealth)NPR=National Park (Recovery)NPS=National Park (Scientific)NR=Nature ReserveNRA=Nature Recreation AreaNREF=Nature RefugeOCA=Other Conservation AreaOP=Other ParkPA=Protected AreaPNR=Private Nature ReservePPP=Permanent Park PreservePS=Private SanctuaryRA=Reference AreaREP=Regional ParkRNA=Remote and Natural AreaRP=Recreation ParkRR=Regional ReserveRSR=Resources ReserveSCA=State Conservation AreaSP=State ParkSR=State ReserveWA=Wilderness Protected AreaWHA=World Heritage AreaWP=Wilderness ParkWZ=Wilderness ZoneIUCN: the IUCN protected area management category ascribed by the Managing authority, as outlined in the publication: CNPPA/WCMC "Guidelines for Protected Area management categories".

## **Abstract** This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. Contains boundary and attribute information for parcels of public, private and Aboriginal lands in Australia. Data are sourced primarly from government gazette notices, cadastral maps and plans. A nominal scale of around 1:5 million and a minimum 50 square kilometre threshold limit for land parcels was used in the generalisation of this product from the National Public and Aboriginal Lands data. Data is suitable for GIS applications. This map shows public and private land tenure, including Indigenous land for the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:4.7 million. The land tenure boundaries depicted on this map generally define broadly classified areas greater than 50 square kilometres. Indigenous land areas between 0.1 and 100 square kilometres are shown more comprehensively by symbols. The information on this map is complemented by statistical tables giving the total area of the land tenure categories for each State and Territory. This map is also available as free vector GIS data, ArcInfo Export, ArcView Shapefile and MapInfo mid/mif. Please direct any corrections or feedback on this map to mapfeedback@ga.gov.au. Product Specifications: Coverage: Australia Currency: Mid 1993 Coordinates: Geographical Datum: AGD66 Projection: Simple Conic on two standard parallels 18S and 36S Medium: Printed map (flat and folded); ## **Dataset History** Data was primarily sourced from Geoscience Australia's National Public and Aboriginal Lands data which contains data from State and Commonwealth Government gazettes. The Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and State Government departments provided information on Aboriginal lands not gazetted. Other information was obtained from published maps and Geoscience Australia's National Topographic Mapping Series (NTMS).
