State Archives

Multiple exciting and motivating opportunities to be a part of this once-in-a-generation opportunity
**About the Agency**
State Archives & Records Authority of NSW (SARA) and Sydney Living Museums (SLM) have been partnered together since 2019. SLM is a State cultural institution that cares for a group of 12 of the most important NSW historic houses, gardens and their collections, including the National and UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hyde Park Barracks.

Housing a vast collection pre-dating European settlement in 1788, SARA is one of Australia’s preeminent archives and records authorities; responsible for the development, preservation, and access to the State’s archives. Managing and storing over 750kms of government records for NSW public sector offices.

The organisations also operate commercial functions that contribute significantly to the sustainability of the agencies. This includes retail, food & beverage, venue hire and, through SARA’s Government Records Repository, commercial storage, records management, digitisation and consultancy services.

We have an exciting opportunity to formally bring SARA & SLM together in the creation of a new cultural institution, Museums of History NSW (MHNSW). As MHNSW, our collective assets and expertise will enable us to achieve even more, together. The new organisation will be the first cultural institution in NSW with history as its core focus - collecting, managing, preserving, and providing public access to government archives, objects, materials, buildings, places and stories that shape the historic, social, political and cultural identity of NSW.

Alongside the creation of Museums of History NSW will be the formation of State Records Authority NSW (SRANSW) which will be separate to Museums of History NSW and will focus on record keeping standards, regulation, advice, education & policy.
