Abstract
The National Library of Australia (NLA) is a premier cultural institution established to be ‘the world's leading documentary resource for learning about and understanding Australia and Australians’, and to provide a ‘crucial resource in the formation of our culture and national identity’ (NLA Service to the nation, access to the globe: Strategic plan 1993–1998 1994 pp1,5). As a storehouse of the nation's public memory it fulfils a critical function in the collection, organisation, preservation and circulation of the national textual estate. Although it may be situated within the broader disciplinary context of library history, the NLA has developed within the confines of the uniquely Australian political and cultural heritage.
