Series notes:
This is an index to records of the Nomenclature Board of Tasmania, organised alphabetically by locality. It includes references to other nomenclature records where the researcher may find additional information relating to the place they are researching. Included in this index are towns, parks, recreation grounds, stations, cemeteries, showgrounds, creeks, golf courses and reserves. The details given vary from card to card but generally include, the name of the municipality and the county and parish in which the locality exists and original name. Other details may include, working plan number, map sheet number, Map reference, Plan Drawer Number and working plan number. The map sheet number may lead to a file in the Map Sheet series, but not always. The other references mentioned above will not lead the researcher to any further information. They were part of the general mapping system used at the time. The map references are to the working maps in use at the time and the numbers which appear after the county and parish are the revised eastings and northings used at the time.

The references that do lead to further information are the registered number written in the top left corner, the Correspondence file number and the Decision and Meeting number. The registered number can be found in the Nomenclature register which is organised numerically by this number. The Correspondence number is a file number which can be found in the Nomenclature Map Sheet Files. The meeting number refers to the meeting of the Nomenclature Board at which the nomenclature was discussed. This can be located in AF906, Minutes of the meetings of the nomenclature board.

The decision number can be looked up in the Decision Register, which provides further details such as the authority or person who submitted the name for consideration, the name submitted, the final outcome and gazette reference.

Please note these reference may not appear on every card.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
