Government buildings have shaped where and how we live in NSW. This webinar will explore records that can tell us about these buildings - how they were planned and designed and how they were built.
Behind the Scenes
In this episode we take a look at some public buildings in the Government Architect plans. We have over 3,400 of these plans in our Collection and 438 have been digitised. The plans include a variety public buildings around New South Wales for example: police stations, courthouses, gaols, public schools and post offices. You will also find Sydney buildings such as the Registrar General's Office, the Colonial Secretary's building and the Treasury building. Some plans are Closed to Public Access for security reasons - for instance if a gaol, police station or a courthouse is still operating as a gaol, police station or a courthouse.
