| Description | It was a short-lived newspaper published in Perth, emerging as a continuation or successor to Baileys Sporting and Dramatic Weekly (1931–1933). Like its predecessor, it focused on local and national sporting news, theatre, entertainment, social events, and cultural commentary, appealing to a readership interested in the vibrant intersection of sport and the performing arts in Western Australia during the interwar period. Operating during the economically challenging years of the Great Depression, Baileys Weekly offered a mix of escapism and information, covering events such as football matches, horse racing, boxing, and theatre productions, as well as opinion pieces and community interest stories. Its coverage reflects the tastes and interests of Perth’s urban population in the early 1930s, capturing a cultural snapshot of Western Australian leisure and social life. The complete archive of Baileys Weekly is available through the National Library of Australia’s Trove collection. It was digitised under the “Digitised newspapers and more” program, which provides free access to historic Australian periodicals. While most issues are available, some pages may be missing or incomplete due to deterioration of original copies, scanning issues, or exclusions related to copyright or image quality. Occasionally, duplicated or mislabeled pages appear, often resulting from supplementary inserts or automated text processing, though they typically do not affect content. Despite its brief run, Baileys Weekly remains a valuable historical resource for those researching Western Australia’s media, sport, and entertainment culture during the 1930s. |
