Guest Speaker:
Fiona Sullivan
Join us in Gordon Library Meeting Room 1
at 2 pm on Saturday 1 August 2026 for
Using the State Archives Collection
Note: there will be no General Meeting on this day. This is a special addition to our Speakers Program, which is why it's not on our usual day.
The NSW State Archives Collection documents the daily work of the NSW Government and its agencies from 1788 to today. This vast collection of records is an invaluable resource for Local historians, from tracing the development of an area, through to its schools, buildings and local businesses, to recording key events that have impacted the community over time.
Join Fiona Sullivan with this special presentation in which she outlines how to begin searching this vast collection, and highlights the many (and sometimes unexpected) records that can help you unlock the Local History of Ku-ring-gai and NSW.
Free entry, no booking required. You are welcome to stay for refreshments and a chat following the presentation.
