VPRS 7878 Gazette Extracts of Grants Under the Mining Development Act

Full description

This series consists of notices cut out from published copies of the Victorian Government Gazette and pasted into a volume. The actual notices do not identify the file numbers for each of the relevant approved grants and, in some instances, don't even identify the recipients. The volume does not contain a significant number of entries and so it is unlikely to be a definitive compilation of all grants. It is possible the volumes only covers a certain type of grant or grants within a limited geographical area. It is not even clear whether the volume was created by a Mining District or at departmental level and, as an interim measure, the recording agency has been attributed to the Mines Department.
