From 1 July 2009 the National Archives is introducing an improved copying service.
We have added 200,000 entries to the index of passenger arrivals. It now covers from 1921 to January 1950. Enter RecordSearch to find a link to the index or see Fact Sheet 220 for more information.
RecordSearch describes over 6 million records created by 9000 Australian Government agencies, mostly since 1901.
Searchable records include documents, photographs, posters, maps, films and sound recordings. Generally, 30 years after a record is created, the public can access it.
We continuously add new descriptions and digital images. Currently, 18.2 million digital images are available for viewing.
