Transport for NSW’s (TfNSW) Digitisation Project Team has unveiled its historic 100-year-old photographic and video archive.
With over 2,000 digitised slides, positives, negatives and print assets the archived works were now available to the public via TfNSW’s Historical Archive library.
“The unique collection includes images and videos from all over New South Wales that capture the history of the State’s infrastructure, roads networks and its people,” TfNSW said.
“With over 100 years of Agency history captured by its own photographers, the urgency of digitising the fragile assets has been a driving force for the team,” it said.
“The public can look forward to a myriad of hidden gems that will be released from the vault, including a ‘highway wedding’ on the Mooney Mooney Creek Bridge, the arrival of the QE2 at Circular Quay and the mysterious mural behind Sydney’s infamous Kings Cross Coca-Cola sign.”
TfNSW said the new photographic and video archive had something for everyone, from classic cars, to fashions of the time, to the architecture of Sydney.
It said its Digitisation Team would add more images to the archive every month,
“So be sure to check back in regularly to see the latest instalments,” it said.
