Welcome to:
The Lachlan & Elizabeth Macquarie Archive.

The Lachlan & Elizabeth Macquarie Archive (LEMA) is an initiative of Macquarie University Library, in partnership with the State Library of NSW, State Records NSW, the National Library of Scotland, the Historic Houses Trust of NSW, the National Library of Australia, and the National Museum of Australia.

The aim of the Project is to increase and improve access to the writings of Lachlan Macquarie and Elizabeth Macquarie. Transcripts, artefacts, images and historical details will be added progressively to the website, thereby creating a digital gateway into the lives and times of the Macquaries in the period 1761-1835.
