Military

a. Early British Army Regiments stationed in New South Wales

State Records holds very few records relating to the early regiments stationed in the colony because as they were British troops the records remained with the Imperial Government. Hence, surviving records relating to those regiments are held by the Public Record Office, London. However, most State Libraries in Australia hold microform copies of the Muster Books and Pay Lists, which were copied as part of the Australian Joint Copying Project. See published guide: Australian Joint Copying Project Handbook, part 4, War Office.

Index to the Papers of the New South Wales Colonial Secretary, 1788-1825 *ARK
This index contains many references to military personnel in the colony during these years.
