Western Australian books of interest to the genealogist

Western Australia has a plethera of literature on the history of the colony, its various districts and families. All of which are available for inter-libray loan.

This page lists the books that I have found useful and interesting enough to purchase, it is a small sampling of what is actually available and I would encourage you to use your local library to access what is available through the inter-library loan system.

If you click on the highlighted titles it will take you to a more detailed description of the book. Browse around and enjoy your time here. I will add to this section as I find time so please come back again.
