In a recently completed project we called for material from Australians with Indian heritage to add to the national collection. 

A large number of photographs and negatives taken by Loke Wan Tho on his ornithological expeditions to the Pacific, Asia and Europe in the 1950s and early 1960s, as well as papers, books and maps.

Around 4,000 books and serials on theosophy, Indian philosophy, comparative religion and related topics.

About 2000 books, pamphlets and serials in various languages, mostly about the history and culture of countries in Asia, particularly Burma/Myanmar.

Around 830 books mainly relating to Buddhism, but also to Hinduism, Indian history and Western philosophy, in German, French and English and mostly published from 1870 to 1945.

3,300 books and serial issues in a range of languages relating to Asian and European literature, politics, history, religion and more. 

About 10,000 stereoscopic view cards produced by both commercial and amateur photographers in all parts of the world and a significant collection of photographic equipment and some books and journals on photography.

We're seeking ephemera, such as pamphlets, posters, badges and programs, from the Australian-Indian community.

A fascinating panel discussion that explored the issues faced by Australian women with Indian heritage.

The National Library of Australia is calling on Australians with Indian heritage to add their story and experiences to the national collection.
