Newspaper pages with relevant articles are available under the "News Coverage" and "Downloads" buttons of the navigation menu above. These newspaper pages were obtained through the website of the "Paper of Record" project. See more informaton on the project in the box below. The records for the weekly Perth Courier newspaper are available through the Paper of Record website from the year 1834 through the year 1987. Please note that most search returns are for "Tom Graham" and "Glen Tay Block Race", and are marked on the pages with yellow highlighter. It appears there will not be any additions to the Perth Courier part of the project in the future.
