Indigenous collecting

The Library’s extensive collections includes a vast array of material relating to Indigenous peoples of NSW.

Indigenous collecting

The Library's collection includes original and published material created mostly by non-Indigenous people that dates from the earliest times to the present. To develop its present Indigenous collections, the Library seeks to put particular emphasis on developing its collections of material created by Indigenous people, who have contributed, and continue to contribute, to the life of NSW and its communities.
