The Directory of Archives in Australia is published by the Australian Society of Archivists www.archivists.org.au or contact directory@archivists.org.au
The Archives maintains a network of Regional Archives Centres which began in 1963. These centres give physical context to regional State archives by keeping them within the communities where they were created and give those communities ready access to their archives.
A Regional Archives Centre is a public office (to date, either a university or a local council), that houses and makes available the archives of its host institution plus other State archives of regional significance. This includes archives from a range of public offices such as Local Land Boards, Schools, Councils, Police and Local Courts. The Archives Centres also house copies of the Archives Resources Kit and private collections of regional records. See:
document government policy, determination and action;
embody citizens' legal rights; and
document information about their existence and identity.
Records which are valuable for research on all aspects of the history and development of the State, communities, individuals, public administration.
