Published as Guide No. 17 in the State Archives of New South Wales series, this reference work details the wealth of historical shipping and free passenger documentation held within the Archives Authority of New South Wales, providing systematic access to records that chronicle the movement of free immigrants to the colony of New South Wales during the 19th century.\n\nThe work presents a meticulous and authoritative survey of primary source materials, instructing researchers on how to navigate colonial-era shipping lists, passenger manifests, and related government correspondence that document one of the most transformative periods in Australian history. In an era before digital databases, such guides were the critical bridge between the researcher and the archive, and this volume remains a testament to the significance of preservation and access in understanding Australia's immigrant heritage — leaving one to wonder just how many family stories lie waiting within its indexed records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210231554267,"sku":"2026200013151-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b7975eae-f3b7-4af9-b1b5-e9cada8ed6f7.png?v=1788267641","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013151-secondhand-guide-to-shipping-and-free-passenger-records","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
