Lists compiled by Mrs E. C. Graham

ADHS member Mrs E.C. Graham has kindly allowed the Society to place on this website an electronic version of the more than 2,000 names contained in her publication “Avoca Lists of Unclaimed Letters from 1854 to 1864 Published in the Victorian Government Gazette”, plus her compilations of other local lists. These resources are copyright to Mrs Graham and the ADHS.

This delightful rural scene has been taken from the title page of one of Mrs Elsie Graham’s many collections of Unclaimed Letters lists which she has published. The scene was drawn by Elsie’s late husband and coloured by her. It is based on a 1866 scene of Avoca which appeared in a newspaper in 1931.
