New
South Wales is Australia's most populous
state. It is located south-east of the country, north of Victoria and south of
Queensland. Founded in 1788, it originally comprised much of the Australian
mainland including the Islands Lord Howe and Norfolk. During the 19th century large areas were successively separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania (1825) South Australia (1836), Victoria
(1855) and Queensland (1859). In 1901 these colonies, along
with Western Australia, federated as the Commonwealth of Australia.
Sydney is the
capital of New South Wales. It is Australia's oldest and
largest city; at least two-thirds of the New South Welsh
population reside there.
NSWGenWeb is
part of the WorldGenWeb
Project; a non-profit, volunteer based organisation
dedicated to providing global genealogical and historical records
and resources. Each region is represented by a number of independently
run, supplementary homepages dedicated to particular countries,
states, counties and associated localities. The NSWGenWeb Project
provides a list of genealogical resources that pertain to
the Australian State of New South Wales. It is an ancillary of
the AustraliaGenWeb
Project, which in turn is a part of the PacificGenWeb
Project.
Hi! My name
is Erica and I am the
NSWGenWeb State Coordinator.
A State Coordinator (SC) is responsible for creating and maintaining the state or
provincial level project website. Duties include the recruitment of county or shire
volunteers and the administration of the message board. In addition to the above,
the state or provincial coordinator tries to establish working
relationships with other state or provincial websites
(archives, research, universities, etcetera ...) and often coordinates
transcription projects to benefit researchers in that state.
An SC is appointed by the Country Coordinator
(CC) or, if applicable, the Regional Coordinator (RC).
Volunteers
are currently needed
for the various regions within the State of New South Wales. If you are interested in
becoming a local coordinator please submit
an expression
of interest -
we welcome the support! Those wishing to contribute through the recording of cemetery
transcriptions; or providing a free look-up service may post
their offers of assistance directly to the NSWGenWeb
Message Board.
