Agency archives retrieval

Once archives have been transferred to our custody, public offices may still access and retrieve them but cannot add to or alter them in any way.

To request a state archive, contact archives.retrieval@mhnsw.au or submit the online request form. All archive retrievals are delivered digitally.

Please note that fees apply for retrieving state archives in our custody. For details, contact archives.retrieval@mhnsw.au.

Digital deliveries are provided via the GRRWeb platform. You will need access to GRRWeb to download requested archives; our team will assist in setting this up.

Alternatively, state archives can be viewed in person, free of charge, at the Western Sydney Records Centre, Kingswood. A reader’s ticket is required to access original material.
