This collection includes a sample of digitised Rare Books held in the collections of UNSW Library in Sydney and UNSW Canberra’s Special Collections.
Items are placed into the Rare Books collections at the Canberra and Sydney campuses if they are considered to be of significant value due to their scarcity, uniqueness, subject content or age.
UNSW Canberra Rare Books features world class holdings in Australian military history and twentieth-century Australian literature to support the needs of researchers, students and teachers. Housed in Special Collections, the resource is supplemented by significant works from across the breadth of human endeavour, including discovery and exploration, natural history, English literature, and military engineering and strategy.
Rare Books held in Sydney relate to multiple disciplines, with particular strengths in medical history, Australian history and outstanding examples of texts published in the 16th century.
