The diaries of three generations of Windeyer men are included in this collection and span the years 1838 to 1894. These diaries can be found alongside station diaries, notebooks and cashbooks of Glenaladale and Kinross stations during the periods of 1831, 1871 to 1899 and 1944 to 1956. The material from Kinross station also includes reports and financial statements for the years 1945 to 1946 and 1951 to 1952.

'Deepwater' station, situated about twelve miles north of Glen Innes, was taken up in 1839 by Archibald Windeyer and managed on his behalf by William Collins. Windeyer later took John Donald Macansh (his son-in-law) into partnership. This interesting and important record group includes station diaries (1845-1892), correspondence (1852, 1875 & 1889-1904) and accounts (1845-1945) all relating to'Deepwater'. In addition there are a diary (1892) and a station ledger (1897-1904) from Myall Downs. An interesting account of a journey with cattle to Brunette Downs appears in the diary of T.W. Macansh (1882). There are also some genealogical notes (n.d.) Re the Windeyer family of 'Kinross'. Archibald Windeyer arrived in New South Wales from England in 1838. He bought 'Kinross' (near Raymond Terrace in the Hunter Valley) at about the same time (1839) as he acquired 'Deepwater'. 'Kinross' became the family home from which he administered his large and prosperous pastoral interests.
