State Archives

As a Regional Archive Centre for Museums of History NSW, we provide access to state archives created by local and regional state government agencies within the Riverina and Murray Regions.

The Guides below contain a consolidated overview of the majority of state archives currently held at Charles Sturt University Regional Archives. The lists are arranged by function, then creating agency and record group. The date range, item quantity, and corresponding reference numbers are also included.

Alternatively, some of our state archive holdings may be searched through the Museums of History NSW's state archive catalogue and indexes, which can be accessed through their Collection Search Page.
