Partnering with other organisations helps make our collection widely available to researchers and historians.
Increased access to the State Archives Collection can be reached through the distribution of microfilmed records in the Archives Resources Kit (ARK) to Community Access Points and libraries around New South Wales. We also have several Regional Archives Centres around New South Wales that store and provide access to State archives of regional significance as well as copies of key State archives.
The lists below shows the record series that are available elsewhere online.
