1859 York district Census. Entry is by name of person, Place of occupation, age, religion, occupation, literacy, arrival ship and date. Details of marriage, wife and children and employer are given. 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: several csv files 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 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. We were recently delighted to discover that the WA Genealogical Society has made use of this dataset.

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.

These datasets contain bibliographic records and some persistent URLs for posters and programs of WA Theatre productions and company ephemera; as well as out of copyright photographs of theatre and picture venues, events, people and places connected to the theatre sector held within the State Library of Western Australia’s collection. As a whole, these two sets provide a glimpse into the theatrical landscape of WA, from amateur societies to University theatres to professional companies; the venues which housed performances, and the people who put them on. The URLs in the "WA Theatre Posters, Programs, Ephemera" dataset contain a mixture of digitised images from the collection and the permanent bibliographic record in the State Library of Western Australia catalogue: URLS starting with “https://purl.slwa.wa.gov.au” or “https://slwa.wa.gov.au/images” are digitised items. URLs starting with “https://encore.slwa.wa.gov.au" are bibliographic records. The URLs in the "WA Theatre venues events people places 1896-1955" dataset are all digitised images. Some records have multiple URLs collated into one field. Each unique URL is separated by the ^ symbol and each corresponding caption appears sequentially in the following field. The captions are also separated by the ^ symbol.

The State Register of Heritage Places recognises a place's value and importance to Western Australia. It includes buildings, structures, gardens, cemeteries, landscapes and archaeological sites and has more than 1,300 places listed in it. The State Register is managed by the Heritage Council and provides a place with statutory protection to ensure that any proposed demolition, relocation, subdivision, amalgamation, alteration, addition or new development is in harmony with its cultural heritage values. The State Register continues to expand, as significant places yet to be registered are progressively assessed by the Council.
