These property books record details of pastoral and other significant properties that were for sale or auction. There are newspaper advertisements, clippings and hand written notes for each property. It appears the records were kept to monitor prices and the property market in general. Some of the properties were auctioned by Websters or the Wool Growers' Agency and others by businesses like Allan Stewart Pty Ltd and Alfred Harrap and Sons, amongst others.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
