Donations

The Library collection of the Royal Australian Historical Society is the result of over hundred years of acquisition and donation of materials by our members, publishers and authors, grant recipients and the public.

If you wish to donate to our Library, please contact Donna Newton, RAHS Librarian, during office hours Monday-Friday for an initial discussion.  Donations may need to be assessed by the RAHS Library Committee to ensure that they are suitable for our collection and can be appropriately housed and managed by the Society.
