Thanks for this link, Brisgirl!  I found a (passing) reference to my g-g-g-g-grandfather in one of the trial transcripts (thankfully not in trouble with the law  ) - most unexpected!

Cheers

The University of Tasmania Library has a Special/Rare Collection of documents, and details of names involved can be seen on their web site (see below).
To quote from their web page the "collections embrace private sector or personal archives and manuscripts, all of which relate to the social, economic, literary, religious and scientific history of Tasmania."
Unfortunately staff can't do searches for material for outside users, but access to files and material is available to personal visitors.

This is the Special/Rare Collection page
http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/collec/arch/
Two thirds of the way down that page is a link to the indexes http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/collec/arch/ascii.html
Click on "Names in our deposited archives"
http://www.utas.edu.au/library/info/collec/arch/name.ascii
Here you will find a list of documents that refer to specific names.

There is also a list of subjects and places in their archives
