Certificates of limited exemption from the provisions of the Aborigines Act (GRG52/20)

This series contains counterfoils of certificates of limited exemption from the provisions of the Aborigines Act, 1934 - 1939. A certificate of limited exemption meant that an individual, and his or her descendants, were no longer subject to the Aborigines Act, 1934 - 1939, or the control of the Aborigines' Protection Board, for a period of time. Most recipients were later granted full exemption, see GRG 52/19 for certificates of unconditional exemption.

Information recorded includes name, address and date of exemption. Whether the exemption was revoked, or granted unconditionally is also recorded.

10 volumes of counterfoils. Arranged chronologically. Certificates are numbered 1 - 500.
