The September 2009 issue of History includes:
Exciting finds from colonial days - "...sketchbook of 30 folios, on paper water-marked 1815, painting by Edward Close, 1790-1866, his 'New South Wales sketchbook: sea voyage, Sydney, Illawarra, Newcastle and Morpeth." The Mitchel Library acquired the sketchbook at auction and it is now in Sydney.
A new study of WWI soldier settlement in NSW - the project aims to uncover the experiences of NSW soldier-settlers and their families. A state-wide study has not previously been completed.
