Summary subject collecting information (definitions of the ALG collecting levels are available for reference):
Comments: A strong collection of monographs and a wide selection of serials on government and public administration form the core of the Library's collection in this topic. General works on the subject are acquired as well as relevant government publications from the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America, New Zealand and the countries of East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific. Comments: The history of individual armed conflicts has been collected at greater depth, notably World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War.
Highlights of the collection: The National Library of Australia holds a comprehensive collection of material relating to Australia and the Australian people.
The Library's collections of Australiana have developed into the nation's single most important resource of materials recording Australian cultural heritage. The Library collects Australian materials of all kinds - not just works in print form - books, serials, maps, music and ephemera - but also online publications and unpublished material such as manuscripts, pictures and oral histories.
The Library also has considerable collections of general overseas and rare book materials, as well as world-class Asian and Pacific collections which augment the Australiana collections.
