The collection was donated to the Library by the Federal Parliamentary Labor Party in 1982. Additions were made to the collection in December 1991 (boxes 14-18), March 1996 (boxes 19-39), August 1997 (boxes 40-60) and December 1999 (boxes 61-93). Caucus minutes, 1906-1971, which were received with a consignment of ALP Federal Secretariat Records (MS 4985), were transferred to MS 6852 in 1983.

The ALP Federal Secretariat Records are held in the Manuscript Collection at MS 4985. Typed transcripts of Caucus minutes, 1901-1960, are held in the Arthur Calwell Papers at MS 4738 (boxes 50 and 53).
