The project notes indicate the minutes of meeting from Feb 1864- Dec1864. I have found minutes dated 1863 and 1865. Just wondering if the minutes are in a book and how they may have come to be out of date sequence? thanks
Hi Irene - I didn't load the material but as you can see from the record in the State Library Catalogue this section of 51 pages is just a small proportion of the pages. when they were put on microfilm the pages may have been out of sequence or perhaps the numbers for the digital files were mixed up with others I'm not sure. In the meantime don't worry too much as I can always x check once we are finished with the original documents. I wrote a brief overview of the Sydney Female Refuge Society, 1848-1925 for our website a while back which you might find interesting. The section at the bottom has links to all the material in the Library catalogue and you can read it here

Hi Geoff... Liz Here... are the pages from the daily journals available to the public? I've found the microfilm reference. thanks
This link https://archival.sl.nsw.gov.au/Details/archive/110615653 will take to all the pages, I'm
hoping if this pilot is successful there might be a possibility of loading more than just this first 50 or so pages.
