Feature Expedition

Wollongong Small Debts Register indexing project

Field notes Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection

Small Debts Registers were created by the courts of petty sessions throughout NSW. From 1846, these courts had the authority to recover small debts (defined as debts of up to £10). The registers contain information such as the name of the plaintiff, name of the defendant, the cause of the action, amount of the claim, costs, the judgement and amount of the judgement.

The purpose of this expedition is to record the court location, date, court session number, the name of the Plaintiff and Defendant and the Cause of Action for each entry in the template provided.
