Abstract

The New South Wales (NSW) State archives collection administered by State Records comprises records from all areas of government administration from 1788 until the present. The collection encompasses the key documents that have established our system of government and justice and the records that have been created in response to legislative and administrative developments and changes. The Industrial Arbitration Act 1901 (NSW) is a milestone in the history of industrial relations in New South Wales. The transcripts of hearings that were generated by it and later amending legislation are an important part of the collection. They document changing practices and conditions in the workplace, the workers' struggles for better pay, conditions, rights and entitlements, and the attitudes and policies of employers and workers and those who represented them. This research report looks at what records are available, which agencies1 created these records and how they can be accessed using State Record's online and other finding aids for the period between 1902 and 1991.
