Webinar: Soldier Settlement in NSW

The Returned Soldier Settlement Act 1916 allowed the settlement of returned soldiers on Crown and Closer Settlement lands. Soldier settlement repatriation schemes were promoted as a pathway for some of the 300,000 returned servicemen and women to secure land ownership and financial independence. Although 40,000 men and women took up of the offer of farming land through these schemes, fewer than half remain on the land 15 years later. This webinar will explore records in the NSW State Archives Collection that tell the stories of these soldier settlers. Learn more about the individuals who participated in the scheme, and how you can research these men and women in our collection. 0:00 Introduction 0:11 Acknowledgement of Country 0:40 NSW Soldier Settlement: a brief history 6:43 Records of NSW Soldier Settlement 7:09 Online indexes 9:13 Soldier Settlement purchases index 1905-1937 11:47 Soldier (Closer) Settlement transfer registers 1919-1925 13:13 Soldier (Closer) Settlement Transfer files 1907-1951 15:08 Soldier Settlement miscellaneous files index, 1916 16:56 Soldier Settlement loan files index 1906-1960 21:48 Soldier (Closer) settlement promotion files index 1913-1958 26:42 Unindexed records 26:57 Closer Settlement estate files 29:45 Closer Settlement correspondence files 34:17 Soldier settlement: search strategies 36:44 Next steps 37:40 What to remember
