Supporting the Library

The State Library of Victoria Foundation plays a pivotal role in supporting the work of the Library. Established in 1994, the Foundation has raised funds and attracted other kinds of support through memberships, donations, sponsorships and bequests. In recent years, the Foundation has helped the Library to:

• purchase new material and conserve significant items in the collection, including the Goldfields Diary
• mount major exhibitions, events and programs
• buy interactive technologies for the Keith Murdoch Gallery and Experimedia.
