Records cited on the work sheets are chosen from a range of Government Record Groups to illustrate the diversity of both archival records and the South Australian Government. Formats of cited records are varied and include: letters, indexes, photographs, newspaper cuttings, reports, exhibits, registers, correspondence files, plans, maps, and graphs. While aimed at students, Primary Sources for Students can also provide a good starting point for the general researcher.
