State Records holds many tens of thousands of photographic images from the late 19th Century to the present, capturing life in New South Wales in much of its richness and diversity. The original formats of these images vary widely, from glass plates and lantern slides to 35mm negatives, colour transparencies and prints.
Our photographic digitisation program aims to bring many of these ‘hidden’ images to light, using the latest technologies. Where necessary, images appearing on Photo Investigator have had basic adjustment and manipulation for display purposes.
