We’re calling on all Australians to help us build the next chapter of Australia’s political history by collecting ephemera from the 2025 federal election.

Join us on the last Sunday of each month for a paw-sitive reading experience with the Story Dogs program.

We collect Australia's stories. Ensure your story is preserved for future generations through legal deposit.

Our flagship lectures are made possible by the generous support of our donors.

Current building works are temporarily impacting access to parts of our collection.

The Volunteer Program offers you an opportunity to play an active role in supporting and promoting the work of the Library.

Meet the PhD students who have furthered their postgraduate research as NLA Scholars.

Search our current vacancies and find out how to apply for jobs with us.

Find out more about our publishing program and review our submission requirements to ensure we’re the right fit for your book.

You can buy copies of items in our collections found in the Catalogue or on Trove. We offer digital copies of newspaper articles, book chapters, photographs, maps, manuscripts, music, sound recordings, and they will be sent to you online.
