Description
This series comprises index cards titled 'Selected Immigrants from the United Kingdom' and relates to some of the applications by selected immigrants from the United Kingdom in GRG7/9, including the following:
- 'Dreadnought scheme' - agricultural workers transferred from New South Wales.
- 'Balliol Boy's Club immigration scheme' - agricultural workers applying through the Balliol Boy's Club, Balliol College, Oxford.
- Tradesmen nominated by the SA Builders and Contractor's Association, including bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers, builders, etc.
The cards are arranged alphabetically by surname of the applicant and record the name and occupation of the applicant, the name of the ship, the date of departure and arrival, age of applicant, remarks (including immigration scheme or related file references) and number of schedule (file number).
There is a large quantity of cards within the alphabetical sequence with no file number included - it is unclear if files exist for these applicants.
