Abstract
The cultural politics associated with the National Library of Australia (NLA) as a storehouse of the national textual capital, are today infused with a symbolism and rhetoric that exert considerable power in any discourse concerning the cultural state of the nation. The National Library of Australia has been described as ‘the apex of the national library network’ (Allan Horton Report into Public Libraries 1976 p8), and Warren Horton, the recently-retired director-general has claimed that, ‘The strategic directions of the Library cannot be separated from its leadership role in the broader library and cultural sectors’ (Horton qtd National Library of Australia 36th Annual Report 1995–1996, p2).
