Historia
Parramatta City Council Archives preserves and makes accessible records relating to the functions and activities of Parramatta City Council from the time of its incorporation in 1863. It includes records of Granville, Dundas, and Ermington and Rydalmere Municipal Councils which were amalgamated with Parramatta Council in 1948. These records illuminate the history and development of the Council and reflect the changes in the community and the rich history of the Parramatta area.
