DescriptionThis series contains some signed original minutes, as well as file copies which include agendas and business papers of the Festival of Sydney (AG-0178), 1976-1994. Included are minutes of the Programme Committee, Finance Council, Promotions Council, Festival Council, Superannuation Fund Trustees, Fund Raising Advisory Committee, the Friends of the Festival, the Program Commitment Sub-Committees and the minutes of Meetings of Members of the AGM. The minutes of several committees are often contained in the one bound volume.

The Festival of Sydney had its origins in the Waratah Festivals which were run from 1956 to 1973 by the Sydney Committee. The Sydney Committee was established in 1956 to promote and organise spring festivals and Australia Day celebrations.

Declining interest and sponsorship in the Waratah Festival led to a rethink about the nature of the Festival. Stephen Hall, formerly Artistic Director of the Australian Opera, was approached to submit a report to the Sydney Committee on a new festival for Sydney. His recommendations included holding a summer festival in January, and changing the Sydney Committee to a non-profit company, limited by guarantee. This occurred on 18 September, 1976.

The first Sydney Festival was held in January 1977.
