Abstract
The need for all archives to move from the paper based to the digital world is very apparent. However, governments and funding entities are unwilling to invest in the back capture of archival materials. State Records NSW overcame this impasse by entering into commercial agreements with 3rd party providers of genealogical data. This article outlines some of the reasons for entering into such agreements and the positive outcomes for State Records NSW and users of digital archival material.
