Fees and chargesOur Fees and Guarantees page lists all the copying charges, including the Administration Fee and Postage. Copy qualityEvery effort will be made to produce the clearest copy possible with State Records' specialised equipment. Unfortunately due to the condition of some original documents or the difficulty in deciphering handwriting, COPIES ARE NOT ALWAYS EASILY LEGIBLE. Tips for SearchingSearch for more than one nameSimply enter each name (surname and/or first name) separated by a comma. No spaces. If searching a name with an apostrophe, such as O'Brien, try searching with and without the apostrophe. You can also search both variations together. Full name searchFor example, typing: William Smith will return results for SMITH, William; SMITH, Williamson; SMITH William Henry etc Wildcard character %NamesThe wildcard character - % - can represent any character in a keyword. For example: Smith% will return all entries that start with "Smith", whereas %Smith% will return any entries that have "Smith" somewhere in the name (such as "Shoesmith") PlacesThe wildcard character is also very useful when searching for an entry by an option other than surname. For instance, a search of: %Windsor% in a locality or description field will find the word "Windsor" anywhere in that field Sort the search results by clicking the column headingsFor example: AlphabeticalClick the "Surname" column to sort from A-Z. Click it again to sort from Z-A. ChronologicalThis is a particularly useful option to use in the "Date" column. Click to sort earliest to latest. Click again to reverse the order.
