The AOT also holds admission records for various other hospitals and these can have information such as age, place of birth, place of residence etc. Search at http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/default.aspx?search=1 with words such as <<Zeehan hospital>>. Records for schools and other institutions can be searched for in the same way.

HOTELS & BREWERIES

The Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office, State Library, Hobart maintains a 'Hotels Index' on cards in their Family History section.

A good source for finding out who ran a pub is the AOT records relating to the issuing and maintenance of hotel licences - registers of applications to sell liquor, certificates of transfer of licensed premises, minutes of the local Licensing Court/bench etc. These are mostly (but not totally) on a local district basis - see: http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/guides/list/bg011.
