Hansard Online Index

Online index entries are accessible by clicking on the page numbers provided. Clicking on a page number will take you to the top of the Hansard text for the day. You can then use standard page search features (such as Ctrl + F, or Edit > Find) to specifically locate your topic within the text itself.

Using the Hansard Index

The 1949-1957 Hansard Indexes do not have direct links to the debates embedded, and therefore must be used in combination with the Hansard PDF document(s) for those particular sessions.

Page numbers are provided within the Indexes. As the PDFs for the Hansard debates are text-readable, you may either utilize a Ctrl+F search for the page number, or scroll through the PDF to find the correct page.

If you have any questions about using the Hansard Indexes, please contact the Legislative Library at legislativelibrary@gov.nl.ca or 709-729-3604.
