Don't confuse National Archives & Records Administration with The National Archives, Internet Archive, etc. Here's a quick guide to which one is which.

St John's Cathedral, 1913, from publication Centenary Celebration's, Anglican Church, Australia, Heritage Centre Collections, Parramatta Council This site located just a few minutes from the Parramatta train station is the oldest church site in Australia in continuous use and is a significant component of the evidence of the early township of Parramatta. In October 1788, soon after the first load of convicts arrived at Sydney Cove, Governor Phillip took a trip up to find the headwaters of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour). Finding good soil and fresh water there he formed a settlement at Rose Hill (named after Sir George Rose the Under-Secretary of the Treasurer) and mapped out the bare bones of a town extending from the foot of Rose Hill for one mile eastward along the creek. This place he named Parramatta, as this was his interpretation of the name given by the first peoples to the spot on which the town is situated. By end of 1791 there were one thousand people living in the district and they were ministered by the Rev. Richard Johnstone in a large shed once a fortnight. In a letter to Governor Phillip dated March 23 1792, Johnstone states; Last spring there was the foundation of a church laid a Parramatta. before it was finished it was converted into a gaol or lock ­up house, and now it is converted into a granary. … I go up to Parramatta, as usual, once a fortnight ­ the distance by water about fourteen miles. On 10 March 1794 the Rev. Samuel Marsden who had been appointed Assistant Chaplain arrived in Parramatta and relieved Johnstone of the care of these Western settlements. On the first Sunday of September 1798 he opened a temporary church which Collins says was ... formed out of the materials of two old huts. Five years later in October 1799, Governor Hunter is thought to have laid a foundation stone for a new church. This was to be 100 feet long and 44 wide but work proceeded slowly and in 1801 Governor King wrote to Sir Joseph banks saying; ... nor have we an elegant stone church at Parramatta, one of brick and stone will be finished during the year. But 1807 Governor Bligh complained that work was still unfinished finished although presumably the superstructure was intact as it had been used for worship since 1803. Reculver's Church, Kent, from publication Centenary Celebration's, Anglican Church, Australia, 1913, Heritage Centre Collections, Parramatta Council Made out of brick the predominant feature of the 'Old' St John's Church was the two towers inspired by a similar set on Reculver's Church in Kent. The story behind these somewhat unusual features states that they were made at the request of Mrs Macquaire, as Reculver's was the last church she saw as she left England. Governor Macquarie asked his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant John Cliffe Watts of the 4th Regiment, to come up with designs. In Mitchell Library, Sydney, there is a drawing folder by Watts which includes drawings of the church spires one of which bears the watermark of 1813 and has Macquarie's initials and approved written on it. Also in the portfolio is an excellent water-colour of Reculver's Church by Watt. In 1902 the grandson of Marsden, Rev Hassell, published his book “In Old Australia”in which he gives a good description of this church. ... old St John’s, was a large brick building, stuccoed, with two towers and spires. The church was removed afterwards and was rebuilt of stone, all but the towers which are still standing, … within were high pews and galleries. I remember my grandfather preaching from the old high pulpit, which stood in the middle of the church. The soldiers sat in one gallery, and afterwards, the King’s School Boys in another. On one occasion I recollect my grandfather preaching about the patriarchs, and saying that Abraham was a squatter on Government ground. The reading desk was below the pulpit, and the clerk’s desk somewhat lower still. The clerk’s desk was occupied for many years by Mr J Staff who repeated the responses and amens … In 1838 Rev Marsden died and was replaced by Rev H. H. Bobart his son­-in­-law. Sometime around 1852 it was decided to pull down the old church and erect a new one. The original chapel was demolished in 1852 and replaced with a new sandstone nave built in Romanesque Revival style. All of the main part of the building removed except for the two towers and later, in 1883, the transepts were added.
