State Archives & Records New South Wales

Statutory body established by the State Records Act 1998. The Act provides for the creation, management and protection of the records of public offices of the State and for public access to those records.

Based at Kingswood, State Archives and Records NSW manage and provide access to the New South Wales State archives collection, a unique and irreplaceable part of Australia's cultural heritage dating back to 1788.

Reynolds' cottages

Built by convict labour in 1829, Reynolds' cottages have been used for many different purposes as the city around them changed and grew.

Suburb located north of the central business district on the western shore of Sydney Cove. Characterised by a precinct of restored nineteenth-century buildings which are a major tourist attraction, it was recognised as a separate suburb in 1993.

Reynolds' Cottages

Workers cottages of brick and sandstone which remain a significant relic of Colonial Georgian style. A third cottage was built of timber at No.32 but has since been rebuilt in brick. Their change of use reflected the economic and social changes of The Rocks through the decades.
