Group visits to the reading rooms
Groups are very welcome to visit the reading rooms. To assist with planning we ask that groups contact us one month in advance of the visit by filling in the Group Booking Form. This is particularly important on Saturdays when the reading rooms are staffed at minimum levels.
A group booking can be used for five (5) or more people
We suggest that you also read our 'Getting Started' page which provides useful information and other links about visiting the reading rooms. Short tours of the Western Sydney Records Centre can also be presented to groups of five or more people (weekdays only). Book a tour when you book your visit.

Take advantage of the pre-order service
To make the most of your group visit to the WSRC we suggest that you use our pre-order service. Each group member can order up to four items in advance using the online pre-order form. Pre-orders save you time as you can begin your research as soon as you arrive.
Copy service
We may be unable to provide same-day copy service for photocopies ordered in the reading room. If copy orders cannot be completed on the same day, we will make arrangements for the copies to be posted or collected. See our Guarantee of Service.
Talks and Seminars
Keep in mind that the reading room does get busy on days when a talk is scheduled in our Activities Program.
