The Queensland State Archives has a Catalogue of items that they have archived. These items may contain a person's name in it's title or it may not (it may be about a place or thing and not about a person). Their Basic Search can be used to search a single word, group of words, exact phrase or numbers. It will search for Agencies, Series and Items. It is often the best place to start a search. The search can be refined by using the drop down boxes. This search is best used where there is likely to be a limited number of results, eg a name, a small place or locality or a specific term. If you wish to perform a more complex search use Advanced Search. [1]
