‘Confused heaps’ and ‘systemic order’: Keeping records in 19th-century NSW

From the pleas of public servants for more desk space, to intricate architectural plans detailing shelving, pigeonholes and presses, this talk will examine how records and the work of their keepers was organised and explore the material world of those ‘charged with the arrangement and care of Records’.

Join us for this webinar celebrating International Archives Day, which will uncover how official records were created, kept and carefully (and sometimes not so carefully) stored in 19th–century NSW.
