New South Wales Research Guide

This Guide is a research tool and provides links to web resources and records within our collection at State Archives New South Wales (SANSW), and to various record collections around Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain. The Guide will help identify research pathways for tracing the stories of NSW soldiers and nurses, as well as highlighing a number of resources that provide background information about life on the home front during the Great War.

State Archives NSW developed the research guide as part of the NSW Government’s Commemoration of the Centenary of Anzac program.   The Guide is divided into the following sections:

• Researching NSW Soldiers
• Researching NSW Nurses
• Researching NSW Soldiers and Nurses who died
• Researching Indigenous Soldiers
• Research using SRNSW resources
• A Soldier’s Story – Herbert Edwin Williams
• NSW Units of the AIF
• NSW Victoria Cross recipients
