NSW Heritage Division Library
Iain Stuart
Before Christmas there was some discussion about the closure of this library however I have been informed of the current situation by Xanthe O’Donnell
“The below information outlines interim arrangements for the NSW Heritage Library:
• There are no changes to services provided for internal stakeholders and external customers.
• All enquiries should continue to be forwarded to the Heritage Library mailbox - heritage...@environment.nsw.gov.au as the OEH / DPE Cluster Librarian (and team) will be managing the mailbox.
• The OEH / DPE Librarian will also manage all Heritage Library resources, cataloguing, shelving activities and information requests.
• These arrangements will remain in place until temporary recruitment is undertaken in the new year.
• HD staff and industry practitioners can contact the OEH / DPE cluster library team on 9585 6845 for assistance.
I apologise for any inconvenience during this transition.
Should you wish to discuss arrangements or provide feedback, please feel free to contact me directly.
Many thanks,
Xanthe

I also should remind everyone of the NSW Archaeology Online: Grey Literature Archive housed at the University of Sydney library http://nswaol.library.usyd.edu.au/index.jsp;jsessionid=942BEA50342E6902FE17294EC3E019F3?page=home
NSW Archaeology Online is a sustainable digital archive of information about the archaeology and heritage of important cultural places in New South Wales. Stage 1 of the project (2009-2011) made a collection of previously unpublished consultancy and student research reports (the so-called grey-literature) discoverable, searchable and publicly accessible online for the first time. Most of these reports were created before the mid-late 1990s in hard-copy format only.
I can testify to it being an extremely useful resource.
Cheers
