The Cumberland Precinct in North Parramatta is home to some of the most significant heritage sites in New South Wales. Most of it has been under continuous occupation by Europeans from the 1790s and the ‘female factory’, built in 1818, was one of the earliest government buildings on the site. The history of its transformation into an insane asylum, and then mental health precinct, provides us with insights into nearly 200 years of convict and medical history in Australia. This free e-book is a compendium of on-line articles written by Research and Collection Services Staff.
