The Cyclopedia of Tasmania 1931 – An Historical, Industrial and Commercial Review Including Biographical Facts | Service Publishing Co. | 1931 [USED – HC – Good]

The 1931 Tasmanian Cyclopedia — an historical, industrial and commercial review of Tasmania at that date, including hundreds of biographical entries on the people of Tasmania and thousands of illustrations. Cyclopedias of this kind were produced for most Australian states in the early 20th century and are among the most useful primary sources for Tasmanian family and local history research — documenting not just prominent figures but ordinary citizens, businesses, towns and industries at a specific moment in time.

The 1931 edition captures Tasmania between the wars, at a particular point in the island's economic and social development. The 1931 edition is considerably rarer than the better-known 1900 Cyclopedia.

At 420 large-format pages, this is a substantial reference. This copy has more recent replacement endpapers fitted at some point.
