Donations of material

The National Library welcomes offers of material and donations from members of the public, including donations made under the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program. The Cultural Gifts Program provides tax incentives to encourage gifts of culturally significant items from private collections to public art galleries, libraries, museum and archives.

While we do love to hear about possible donations, gifts are only accepted if they fall within the National Library's Collection Development Policy.

If you would like to discuss this further with National Library staff please contact the Development Office or the following collections areas:
