APPLICATIONS FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE VICTORIAN
GOVERNMENT IN THE 19TH CENTURY.
By
Helen D. Harris, OAM.
Part Two - M - Z.
Copyright
2007-9.
This web page lists basic details of people who wrote to
various Victorian government departments, in the 19th century,
seeking employment in the Victorian public service. I have already indexed, and published, a list
of all those who sought employment in the police department during this time,
compiled from police correspondence files, held at the Public Record Office. Those microfiche indexes are still available,
and can be purchased from Harriland Press by clicking on that
website. In addition there are some
applications to join the police department on both the Index to Missing People and
Index to Criminal & Other
Case Files web pages.
The list below is taken from other government
department records, found as I was researching another project. It is by no means a complete record of all
those who wrote seeking employment, merely those I have come across to
date. The list will be added to as time
permits.
Like all correspondence, the amount of detail in the
applications for employment varies considerably, from a simple formal
application of a few lines, to a detailed listing of the applicant’s previous
employment and personal history. Some
files consist of one or two pages only, while in others the file can run to
over 20 pages, as the applicant renews their application more than once.
As in my other web pages, I am happy to arrange
photocopying of a file, but my fee is $35 plus photocopying and postage
costs. Currently the PRO charges 65c per
page copying, and there is a delay of around two weeks. Anyone who would like to use the service is
asked to contact me on hdh1 at ozemail.com.au [replace the ‘at’ with @ and
remove the spaces]. When someone
requests a file I keep a note of their details, and place a CONNECTION FOUND next to the
relevant entry. If in the future someone
else requests the same file, I put the two researchers in touch with one
another.
