NRS-16410 | Albums of Travel and Advertising Brochures

This series consists of albums containing brochures and advertising pamphlets issued and/ or distributed by the NSW Government Tourist Bureau. The series documents the activity of Tourism in which the railways played a major role. This series contains the following types of records: guides to locations in New South Wales, information on rail tours, samples of invitations and Christmas cards issued by the Railway Commissioner, menus, commemorative programmes and miniature versions of advertising posters relating to the railways, tour schedules, brochures, maps, tickets, timetables, day trips, and school cruises for boys and girls.There are many gaps in these albums where brochures are missing.Custody History From 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an ‘in house archives’ consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the ‘State Rail Archives’ the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R262 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.
