 National Library of Australia The National Library of Australia is located in Canberra, Australia.

In 1960, the National Library was separated from the Parliamentary Library by the National Library Act 1960. In 1968, a new building inspired by the Parthenon was built for it on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin.

The Library is "closed access" so the public cannot simply browse its 40km of shelves. Its vast collection consists of books, journals, pictures, maps, manuscripts, sound recordings, microfilm and other media. The bulk of its collections are held on-site, but material is also stored off-site at Hume Annexe and other warehouse locations.
Collections The Library has digitised over 105,000 items from its collection (the 100,000th being http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3409117) and, where possible, delivers these directly across the Internet. The Library is a world leader in digital preservation techniques (see padi), and maintains an Internet-accessible archive of selected Australian websites called the Pandora Archive. It has been suggested that Digital obsolescence be merged into this article or section. ...
