I came across this while on the LDS site doing research on an ancestor.
          It's a 33 page list of convicts on ships that left England  and arrived in New South Wales in 1791.
           It may already be posted somewhere, but if not maybe it could help someone.

Good morning,
I have just received the State Library of NSW newsletter and they have announced the following:
   
"Hunt down your convict ancestor
We’ve launched a free online guide to help you hunt down your convict ancestor. The Convict Research Guide uses a step-by-step approach to researching our extensive historic records as well as other print, online and electronic resources. This easy-to-use guide is available to all web users and is just one of the valuable resources offered by our Family History Service."
