Thank you for bringing Australian democracy to life
2024 Annual Appeal - Thank you
We are so grateful to everyone who supported our 2024 National Library of Australia Tax Time Appeal. With your incredible support, we will be able to digitise our amazing collection of election ephemera and bring it to the world through Trove. Thank you again for your support of the National Library of Australia.
About our election ephemera collection
The National Library’s election ephemera collection is Australia’s largest collection of political memorabilia. More than just a sausage sizzle, it showcases the unique history of democracy down under from each Australian Federal election since Federation.
From how-to-vote cards, posters, corflutes, brochures, flyers and stickers, to balloons, flags, t-shirts, buttons, badges, hats, masks, and even vinyl records, our collection of federal election ephemera is both rich and varied.
