First Legislative Council (1824 - 1855)

The First Legislative Council archive contains documents from 1824 to 1855 indexed by document type and date. It includes tabled papers, The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reports of debates, and documents classified as "non-tabled" papers relating to the administration of the First Council. Some of the early original material has faded and is illegible in places but is included as authentic historical record. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but classification errors may exist.
