Finding an Act in its original form
Acts appear on the catalogue under their series title, ie Acts
of the Commonwealth are listed on the catalogue as: The Acts
of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia, while
the Acts of NSW are listed as: The Statutes of New South Wales.
To locate an Act in its original form, ie as it was when it first
came into force, you need to know the year and number of the Act.
If you have these details the next step is to check the catalogue
under the title of the series, then go to the appropriate place
on the shelves. Acts are bound by year and number.
