I've been engaging in an archiving project, sorting through databases, computer drives, publications and archive boxes to put some much needed organisation into my collection of electoral material.
As part of this I've decided to make most of my past electoral publications available through the ABC Elections website. I have been preparing publications for the New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australian Parliamentary Libraries for two decades, and have produced very similar self-published documents for other state elections.
The format I have adopted for many of these publications is simlar to results publications first prepared for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Library by Dr Gerard Newman in the 1980s, and credit goes to Dr Newman for the simple to use format I repeat in the state publications. Similar publications for Commonwealth elections can be found through the Library's website at http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/index.htm
Other publications will be added to the site when available.
You can find the site at http://www.abc.net.au/elections/archive/
