Almanacs are a valuable resource for local, family and social historians as well as for researchers in other fields of Australian history.

1852 was the third year of production for the 'Ford's Australian Almanac'. Titled 'Australian', but it is primarily about New South Wales, it is divided into two sections, the first containing information from England on the royal family, the government, the army and more.

The second section contains information on government directories, laws, ecclesiastical, banks, military establishments and societies from the colony of New South Wales. It also includes information on acts, postage rates and the 1851 New South Wales census (statistics).

This product provides a great tool for researching New South Wales history making information that is difficult to find easily accessible on CD.

High quality scanned images of the whole of the original book. This CD has been bookmarked for easy navigation, and pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
