These records are held by Tasmanian Archives (2011 - current).
Tasmanian Archives holds many series of records of cases heard in children’s courts throughout Tasmania between 1906 and 1986. These files may include the cases of children who became state wards, whose cases often had to go through a court process before a magistrate before becoming state wards. These records are arranged by the individual district courts in which hearings were held. A list of these series are available under the Related Entries heading at the bottom of this page.
