Data relating to the events, themes, people, places, sites, objects and other records that document and present aspects of the history of Maitland and its surrounding area in the lower Hunter Valley of NSW.

Data on the events, themes, people, places, objects and other records relating to the history of the Newstead/Elsmore pastoral district near Inverell in northern New South Wales. The data is drawn from research conducted in and on a variety of public and private collections of documents and other materials. The collections are located both in the Inverell district and elsewhere. An important feature of this collection is the well documented connection between the Anderson family and the nationally significant artist Tom Roberts and his life and work in the Inverell area in the late 1800s.
