Sentenced beyond the Seas: Australia’s early convict records

A project to digitise and index Australia’s earliest convict records. Convict Indents list the convicts transported to New South Wales. Search over 12,000 names listed in these early records and view colour images of the indents online!

Sentenced beyond the Seas features the Indents of the First Fleet, Second Fleet and ships to 1801 and contemporary indexes known as the Alphabetical Indents, 1788-1800.
Early indents provide name, date and place of trial and sentence while the later indents usually include physical description, native place, age and crime.Search images
This digitisation project marks the 225th anniversary in 2013 of the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788.
See more information and search the index »

The comprehensive Early Convict Index includes over 12,000 names which appear in the records, including not just those who arrived but those on the lists who were embarked, those who died on route and even those whose names were crossed off the lists. The index includes: surname, first name, alias, ship page and ship entry, age, tried at, county, tried when, sentence, occupation, ship and remarks. There are links from each entry to the digital images for the ship’s indents and/or the Alphabetical Indents.
