NSW Archaeology Online

A digital archive of information about the archaeology and heritage of important cultural places in New South Wales. Stage 1 of the project (2009-2011) made a collection of previously unpublished consultancy and student research reports discoverable, searchable and publicly accessible online for the first time. Most of these reports were created before the mid-late 1990s in hard-copy format only. They document archaeological field survey, excavation and heritage assessment projects conducted under the NSW Heritage Act and are an important resource for research, education, heritage interpretation and management. Stage 2 of NSW Archaeology Online (2011-2013) involved digitising more unpublished reports and also three collections of slides and photographs of industrial and other sites taken as part of historical archaeology research and consultancy projects conducted before 1995. Development of the archive was funded by two NSW government heritage grants in 2009-2011 and 2011-2013.
