State Library of Queensland - Licensed Victuallers Index

The names of holders of victuallers’ licenses (publicans) were printed in the Queensland Government Gazette from 1860-1914 on an annual basis. This index currently covers the period from July 1900 to July 1914. Transfer lists were printed as needed throughout the calendar year and entries included here until 1903, and occasionally to 1914. This index lists information that may be useful for family history or general history research, including names, dates, districts and hotel names.
