The Dictionary of Sydney has been publishing freely accessible, reliable and authoritative information about Sydney's history since November 2009. Every day we provide facts, information, images, multimedia, insights and stories about Sydney to thousands of students, teachers, history lovers and researchers all over the world. As of December 2016, the Dictionary of Sydney has no ongoing operational funding. In July 2017, the Dictionary's content was moved onto a new sustainable platform at the State Library of New South Wales where it will be supported and preserved for posterity, but to keep adding to the Dictionary and telling more of Sydney's stories, the Dictionary of Sydney needs YOUR help.
