This collection contains obituary records extracted from newspapers published in Australia from OldNews.com. Records typically include the name of the deceased, date and place of birth, death, funeral, and burial, age at death, relatives of the deceased, the date and place the obituary was published, the name of the newspaper where the original obituary was published, and the snippet of text from the newspaper mentioning the obituary. Some records may also include information such as the residence of the deceased, occupation, and cause of death. In Australia, obituaries in newspapers have played a significant role in commemorating lives and documenting social history. During the early colonial period in the 19th century, obituaries in Australian newspapers were often brief and factual, primarily noting names, dates, and basic biographical details. As the nation developed, particularly after the gold rushes and into the 20th century, obituaries began to offer more detailed accounts of the deceased's life stories, achievements, and contributions to their communities. By the mid-1900s, obituaries had become more personalized, reflecting the evolving societal values that emphasized individual accomplishments and personal histories. This period also saw a more structured approach, influenced by both funeral homes and newspaper editorial practices, leading to standardized formats that included sections for death announcements, biographical summaries, lists of survivors, and funeral arrangements. In contemporary Australia, obituaries continue to serve as important historical records and sources of information for genealogists and historians, preserving the legacies of individuals for future generations. The records in this collection were extracted using machine learning technology and may contain mistakes due to Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology and the automatic extraction. Users are encouraged to fix such mistakes using the “Suggest an alternative” feature that is found on every record page.
