Kelly records not in the Kelly Historical Collection

The Kelly Historical Collection does not contain every Kelly related record in the PROV Collection. These are some of the key records related to Ned Kelly that are not contained in the Kelly Historical Collection. We have provided you with direct links to some of those records.

Use the links below to place an order for these records:

• Interim report of Police Commission into the circumstances of the Kelly outbreak & present state of police force (11 October 1882) 
• The original proclamation of Kelly Gang Members as outlaws
• Part of the petition by lawyer Gaunson to save Ned Kelly, which is contained in three boxes bearing the title Ned Kelly.
• Minutes of meetings of the Executive Council on 3, 8 and 10 November 1880  which confirmed Kelly’s death sentence

There are many other records relating to Kelly in addition to those with direct links above.

These records are not part of the Kelly Historical Collection. They can be found within a number of other series throughout the collection.
