Wayne Swan donated his personal collectionhttp://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au/permalink/f/1upgmng/slq_alma21244083260002061 of records to the State Library of Queensland's John Oxley Library. The collection reflects the history of Wayne's time in public office and in particular is a record of his experience as: Secretary of the Queensland Labor Party (1991–1993) Federal MP and Member for the seat of Lilley from 1993–1996, 1998–2019, Treasurer of Australia (2007–2013), Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Leader of the ALP (2010–2013) and National President of the Australian Labor Party (2018–present). A substantial part of the collection relates to the Global Financial Crisis of 2008–2009 and is highly significant given that Australia was a key contributor to G20 discussions. The collection includes photographs, correspondence, campaign materials and political documents. In 2021 the State Library produced a digital story with Wayne Swan.http://onesearch.slq.qld.gov.au/permalink/f/1upgmng/slq_alma21253675270002061 The interview by Dennis Atkins covers Wayne's time in public office and his life before and after politics as well as the Global Financial Crisis of 2008–09 and Wayne’s role in the implementation of an effective domestic stimulus response to the crisis.
