New Trial Copy Service - Deceased Estate Files
A proportion of State archives are fragile and for this reason we may withhold access to the original archive until it has received attention from our Conservation staff. Archives will be checked on a case by case basis as they are requested either in the Reading Room or for a copy order. If an archive requires conservation treatment there will be a delay in the archive being issued and/or copied. Conservation treatments can take up to six months to be completed. You will be notified if there is going to be a delay in an archive being issued and/or copied and if there will be additional copying charges for special format copying.
Placing your order
The NRS 13340 Deceased Estate files is our latest trial copy service. With almost 30,000 entries to search within the index we have introduced a trial copy service. To order a copy conduct a search via the online index when a relevant entry is located simply 'tick' the relevant search result(s) and follow the instructions to place your order. At present the index covers 1880 - c. May 1907. We are progressively adding to the index.

Important Information: The index was compiled from Indexes to registers of deceased estates and not from the lists of files held by State Records. There may be entries in the index for which a file has not survived. If the file requested has not survived the payment will be refunded.
Service fee
The copy service fee is $30.00 (includes administration, postage/handling and the first entry). Additional entries are $15.00 each. You may order up to 4 additional entries on the same order.
