Using maps and architectural plans for research

Maps and architectural plans can unlock a wealth of information to enrich your history research or creative project. Join us for an insightful session exploring the key benefits of using these resources and get an overview of the Library’s extensive collection — over 180,000 maps and 100,000 architectural plans from architects and architecture practices across NSW.

Whether you’re a map novice or have never delved into architectural plans before, this session will show you how to find and use these fascinating materials. Be inspired by some of our favourites and view highlights from the collection.

All participants will receive a PDF handout summarising the key elements covered.
