The Western Australian Biographical Index (WABI) is a highly used resource at the State Library of Western Australia. A recent generous contribution by the Friends of Battye Library (FOBS) has enabled SLWA to have the original handwritten index cards scanned and later transcribed.

The dataset contains: several csv files with data describing card number, card text and url link to image of the original handwritten card.
The transcription was crowd-sourced and we are aware that there are some data quality issues including:

* Some cards are missing
* Transcripts are crowdsourced so may contain spelling errors and possibly missing information
* Some cards are crossed out. Some of these are included in the collection and some are not
* Some of the cards contain relevant information on the back (usually children of the person mentioned). This info should be on the next consecutive card
* As the information is an index, collected in the 1970s from print material, it is incomplete. It is also unreferenced.

It is still a very valuable dataset as it contains a wealth of information about early settlers in Western Australia. It is of particular interest to genealogists and historians
