New South Wales Heritage Database facts for kids

The New South Wales Heritage Database is an online tool. It helps you find information about important historic places in New South Wales, Australia. These places have special heritage listings. Think of it as a big online library for old buildings and sites!

What's Inside the Database?

This database holds details for over 1,650 places listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register. It also includes sites from heritage lists managed by local councils. Plus, it has information from other official heritage lists.

It's important to know that this database just holds information. It is not a heritage list itself. A historic place might appear many times in the database. This happens if it is listed on several different heritage registers. For example, the Young railway station is on three heritage lists. So, it has three entries in this database.

Sharing the Information

Most of the information in the database is licensed under CC-BY. This means you can use and share the information freely. You just need to say where you got it from. Some parts might have different rules if they belong to other people.
