The State Archives and Records Authority of New South Wales was established in 1961 by the Archives Act, No 46 of 1960 and is responsible for collecting, managing and preserving New South Wales Government records. In 1999 the State Records Act 1998 came into effect, replacing the Archives Act 1960. Prior to 1961, archives were kept at the Public Library of New South Wales. In mid-2012 the search room at The Rocks was closed and all material and staff were based at the Western Sydney Records Centre.
