本数据集收录与州档案系列相关的基于来源原则的档案检索工具（provenance-based finding aids）。此类手册详细介绍了创建或维护该档案系列的新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）政府机构的沿革，并对相关档案系列进行说明，涵盖其形成时间范围、利用条件及架位信息。数据集内容先按版本号进行数字排序，在该排序框架内再按出版时间的先后顺序排列。部分检索工具会定期更新，因此存在多个版本。总体而言，针对州档案系列编制的公开出版检索工具主要分为四类：
1. 基于来源原则的检索工具（常被称为初步案卷目录（preliminary inventories））；
2. 官方核心检索工具（如《简明指南》（The Concise Guide）第1版（出版年份）及其补编）；
3. 主题类检索工具，其中多数覆盖跨来源的档案集合；
4. 档案系列索引。
