The Book Collection
The collection consists of works about women and women's issues. A donation of 500 feminist books formed the basis of the collection. Donations continue to increase the collections. The substantial collection of literary works by Australian women dates from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Our catalogue is on Kinetica, the National Library Database.
The Archives Collection
The Archives collection includes letters, diaries, journals, the papers of women's organisations, and audio recordings. Access to the database can be gained by contacting the library.
