The National Gallery of Australia Research Library is a world-class art library. As well as a general coverage of art history, the Research Library's collections have particular strengths which match those of the Gallery's art collection.

A Reference Service is available to the public online, and via email, phone, fax or post. Our holdings are listed on the national database [Kinetica] or you can go direct to our catalogue on the World Wide Web via our network Unilinc Shared System catalogue.
