Western Australian Police Gazettes commenced publication in 1876 as an internal working tool, circulated to the Police each week. Due to the confidential nature of the information printed, contents were not made available to the public until fifty years after publication.
History researcher Ken Ross extracted and indexed entries published in the Western Australian Police Gazette between 1876 and 1900, concentrating specifically on events in the Guildford area. Listings include reporting of crimes, warrants, licensing, police appointments, dismissals, discharges, promotions, resignations and transfers. Information about convicts is provided, such as granting of ticket of leave, and conditional pardons. Social issues are covered including industrial products, household items, lost or stolen property, and requests to find missing family members and friends. Inquest findings give date, name of Magistrate officiating, name and date of death of person, and the verdict.
