SLM is a State cultural institution that cares for a group of 12 of the most important NSW historic houses, gardens and their collections, including the National and UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hyde Park Barracks.

Housing a vast collection pre-dating European settlement in 1788, SARA is one of Australia's preeminent archives and records authorities; responsible for the development, preservation, and access to the State's archives.

The new organisation will be the first cultural institution in NSW with history as its core focus - collecting, managing, preserving, and providing public access to government archives, objects, materials, buildings, places and stories that shape the historic, social, political and cultural identity of NSW.

Alongside the creation of Museums of History NSW will be the formation of the State Records Authority NSW (SRANSW) which will be separate to Museums of History NSW and will focus on record keeping standards, regulation, advice, education and policy.
