School records
In NSW education has been compulsory since 1880 and the local school is often at the centre of the local community.
School records in the NSW State Archives Collection contain a wealth of information about the people who attended school, their teachers and school buildings in which they worked. This webinar focuses on how to research students, teachers and school sites in the NSW State school system.
