This dataset contains bibliographic records and persistent URLs for the digitised maps held within the State Library of Western Australia’s map collection, including cadastral and town-site maps across the state of Western Australia. The maps range from the early 1840s to the mid-1980s and include land use, zoning, lot numbers, boundary measurements, terms of sale, and locality plans; as well as distances from utilities, landmarks and businesses. Highlights include the Lindsay J. Peet Collection of Cadastral Maps; town-site maps from the WA Department of Lands and Surveys; the Australia Soviet Military City Plans, Perth; and the Polus Antarticus states, which show the South Pole and Australia prior to the discoveries of Tasman in 1642 and 1643-44. This set also includes the Historic map series 1880-1890 which has been captured as its own dataset.

Ward boundaries within the City of Sydney local government area (LGA) have shifted many times, dramatically affecting the number and character of people entitled to vote. The redrawing of ward boundaries was largely undertaken to redress imbalances as the demographic makeup of the City changed over time. The polygon layer represents the boundaries of each ward and table lists the corresponding assessment books. This data is part of the historic ward boundaries story map.

CoS collection of archives, photographs, historical records

From 1900, City Building Surveyor’s department of council began hiring professional photographers to document ‘old, insanitary and ruinous’ buildings when they were condemned, and usually before they were demolished. This practice continued until 1931. These photographs were intended as a form of evidence in the event of any dispute and to record what was about to be lost. Viewed over 100 years later, these photographs show Sydney’s rapid urban change in the first 2 decades of the 20th century.
