Indentures (Guardianship) is a series of records created by the Child Welfare Department of Western Australia. It contains records about guardianship and custody of child migrants. The records consist of legal agreements between the Under Secretary for Lands and Immigration (who was the legal guardian of child migrants in Western Australia), and the children's homes, organisations, and individuals taking custody of child migrants in state care. The records include a small number of agreements regarding child migrants placed in apprenticeships.
