Various people use the National Archives of Australia and its website. We have arranged the content to suit the main groups:

• researchers (Collection)
• people engaged in learning, such as teachers, students or parents (Learning)
• people interested in online and gallery exhibitions and events (What's on)
• staff of Australian Government agencies who want to know more about managing records (Records management).

In addition to the above four sections, we provide information about:

• the National Archives, its governance and its work (About us) 
• what we can do for you (Services).

To navigate within each section, use the links in the sidebar on the left-hand side. You can also see where you are using the breadcrumb row under the page banner (for example: Home / What's on / Public events).

To find web content:

• scan the home page for quick links
• browse using the tabs across the top of each page, and links in the sidebar
• use the site search at the top of each page
• use the site map.

If you are looking for a collection item, use our online databases, RecordSearch and PhotoSearch. It also helps to be aware of what's not in the collection.
