Occupations Thesaurus

Recommended for contributions to the Register of Australian Archives and Manuscripts (RAAM)


This thesaurus is to be used as guidance in completing the 'Occupation' field for contributions to RAAM. In cases where there is no suitable entry in the Register, please send suggested revisions to the address below. For effective operation of the RAAM database, the vocabulary used in this field must be controlled, but the National Library does not have the resources to develop a full-scale thesaurus, and we hope that this imperfect document will be improved with the help of your suggestions.

The complete July 2007 edition of the Occupations Thesaurus is available for downloading in the following formats:

The August 1999 edition of the Thesaurus is also available online in two parts:
