Various indexes to assisted immigrants, 1919+

These card indexes were created by the Department of Labour and Industry, NSW Immigration Division. They contain summary information about immigrants, including child migrants, the places they were settled, and the organisations involved in their migration. In 2023 these records had only been partially processed by State Archives NSW, meaning there is minimal information available about these indexes.

Access Conditions

The card indexes listed below are open to public access, however, as these records have been only partially processed there may be longer wait times for accessing them. For access to these records please contact State Archives NSW.
