Our vision

That people and Government in NSW have ready access to records which illuminate history, enrich the life of the community and support good and accountable government.

This website includes three sub-sites

The State archives is for anyone wanting to explore the official archives of the State of New South Wales. Here you'll find catalogues, guides, indexes and other tools for searching the archives, online galleries and services, information about events and activities, and much more.

Recordkeeping is for the New South Wales public sector. Here are the standards, guidelines, manuals, tools and other resources that you and your organisation need to achieve best practice in all aspects of official recordkeeping. Look here too for information about training, briefings and other opportunities.

Government Records Repository is for existing and potential customers of our fee-based records storage services. Here you'll find information about our services and facilities, and forms for using specific services.
