"PORT PHILLIP CLERGY" was first published in 1982 in booklet form. A revised edition with the results of further research was published in microfiche form in August 2003. This contains brief biographical details on over two hundred clergymen who arrived in the Port Phillip District of New South Wales (now the State of Victoria) prior to separation on 1 July 1851. No distinction is made concerning how long they stayed. Some visited the colony only briefly, others were here for decades. A sample entry is shown hereunder:
