Western Australia

Files (Aboriginal matters) - Chief Secretary's Department were created by the central registry of the Colonial Secretary's Office/Chief Secretary's Department (even though much of the correspondence was sent to, and from, the Chief Protector of Aborigines or his deputy). The files in this series, along with the files from the Department of the North-West (Records Series No. 2029), comprise the main collection of files relating to Aboriginal matters between the period 1920 and 1926. This series includes records relating to missions and other institutions, the removal of children, rationing and 'relief', employment, movement of Aboriginal people, ethnographic studies, education, health and medical treatment, and a large number of 'personal' files relating to named individuals or families.
