Records relating to missions of particular religious denominations can be located in the Battye Library in the private archives collection in various listings - MN 614 (Anglican), MN 172 (Methodist), MN 713 (Presbyterian) and MN 629 (New Norcia and Kalumburu).
Material can also be found in the records of the Department of Indigenous Affairs and its predecessors - see the Series Registration System and the State Records Office Catalogue for listings (the various agencies which have handled Aboriginal Affairs in Western Australia can be found under the heading Aboriginal People).
