Menu tabs include :  Guide;  Indexes;  Stories.

Here is a link to the Archives Webinair: Tracing NSW Convicts https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/archives/webinars/webinar-tracing-nsw-convicts

The Guide has an overview which summary headings include:
Transportation Act
Transportation to America, Transportation to America ceased
New South Wales: Botany Bay, Port Jackson, Awaiting transportation, Deaths on board, Commissioner Bigge, Abolition of transportation, Revised System, Exiles, Western Australia, End of convict system,
A list of records series includes: Trial records, Records of the Voyage
Sources held elsewhere note the Mitchell Library (part of the NSW State Library, in Sydney CBD, not the one in Scotland), and the Votes and Proceedings of the Legislate Assembly (of NSW, available online).  Here's a link to the V&P starting in 1856 https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/papers/Pages/Votes-and-Indexes-from-the1st-to-the-49th-Parliam.aspx

The Indexes tab is as informative as the Guide tab and gives live links to: Col Secretary's papers 1788-1825; Convict Indents Digitised index, and Convict Assignments Index (1821-1825) and related links for Female Factory, Parramatta, Hyde Park Barracks, and Convicts in VDL

Stories tab has loads more interesting details too, including the story behind the first pardon granted.
