Description

The State Records Office (SRO) has created an 'entry point' for people who want to find records relating to Aboriginal people in WA.

Abstract

The SRO says:

In Western Australia, successive State Government agencies controlled the lives of Aboriginal people from 1905 until citizenship rights were granted in the late 1960s. The official records that document this control are of vital significance, particularly for those people who were removed from their families and resettled elsewhere in the State. Many of these records are now held by the State Records Office.The records relating to Aboriginal people held by the State Records Office are an important source of information for those interested in tracing their family history, as well as being a valuable historical resource.
