The Library's summer opening hours are in place from Monday 23 December 2024 until Wednesday 1 January 2025 (inclusive). Before planning your visit, check our opening hours and temporary changes to collection access.
Boxes in the original collection run have three sets of identifying numbers: those originally assigned by the ACNT, those applied by the commercial storage facility, National Record Managers, and the current consecutive sequence applied by the Library. The Library was selective in accepting material from the collection stored with National Record Managers: around two thirds of that material is retained in the current NLA collection. The latter comprises correspondence with internal and external agencies, promotional pamphlets, meeting and conference minutes, policy and planning documents, reports, photographs, press clippings and materials relating to specific conservation/heritage sites and campaigns. There are also separate files on external bodies such UNESCO and the International Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS).
