History Services NSW is compiling summaries of significant issues in the early administration and government of NSW.

Do you know what was Governor Macquarie’s policy for our indigenous population? Are you familiar with his public works programs?

These summaries based on previously published documentation are easily readable and will asset people undertaking historical research.

History Services NSW has researched the history of all convicts who were transported to NSW and also those persons who were awarded NSW Government Contracts.
