Originally formed soon after Australia became a separate Diocese in 1836, this Society is the Church of England's oldest in Australia. Following a programme supporting Christian education, literature and scholarship, the Society was initially a joint committee [The Australian Diocesan Committee of The Societies For Promoting Christian Knowledge and For Propagating the Bible in Foreign Parts] and received a substantial bequest from Mr. Thomas Moore of Liverpool. In 1868 the Society's rules and regulations were adopted by Resolution of Synod and the Society re-named The Sydney Diocesan Education and Book Society in connection with the Societies for Promoting Christian Knowledge and for The Propagation of The Gospel in Foreign Parts. In 1918 its name was shortened to The Sydney Diocesan Education and Book Society. In 1986 the Society became a Committee of The Standing Committee for the Sydney Diocese. The records are unprocessed, but most are arranged in subject folders, and include minutes, financial statements and correspondence. Minute Books prior to 1953 are held by the Mitchell Library.
