The Archives Resources Kit (ARK) was a result of our Access for All initiative to provide people in regional and rural NSW with better access to the State's archives. The Kit consists of microform copies (as well as some guides and explanatory material) of our most popular and heavily used colonial records. The Kit is available in 40 community access points (mostly libraries)throughout NSW.

Included in the Kit are records relating to: the Colonial Secretary's Papers, 1788-1825; arrivals to the Colony (includes Moreton Bay and Port Phillip); departures from the Colony; births, deaths and marriages; convict records; land records; naturalization records; orphans and professions and occupations.

This Guide assists in accessing the records in the Kit.
