Up until 1966, parliamentary papers were bound in volumes covering a parliamentary session (usually two to three years). Since 1967, they have been bound in annual volumes. Note that bound volumes are prepared by the Library from bundles provided by the Parliament which are often late. The bound set on the shelves is usually one to two years behind.
In addition to the copy bound with parliamentary papers, we also receive second copies of some reports. Individual parliamentary papers received under the library deposit scheme are separately catalogued, e.g. annual reports are treated as serials, reports of royal commissions are catalogued as monographs. Check the catalogue for details.
There is no set of unbound parliamentary papers available for use.
Some printed annual reports have been catalogued individually. If you can't find the report you need in the printed parliamentary papers, check the catalogue.
If not online then check print archives of the parliamentary papers. Printed indexes for 1970 to roughly one year ago are available.
