The Library’s Genealogy team has published the Tetlow index to the Robert K. Cole collection of hotel records: city and suburban hotels on microfiche. This index, compiled by Genealogy team volunteer Eric Tetlow, contains over 21,000 entries for hotel licencees and others taken from the Melbourne city and metropolitan volumes of the Robert Kerr Cole collection of hotel records. These records are held in the Library’s Australian Manuscripts Collection.
Cole was a well-known identity in the brewing world of Victoria, joining Carlton & United Breweries in 1906. He used the Library extensively in his research and wrote numerous articles on the history of hotels in Victoria, which appear in the CUB journal, What’s Brewing.
