Anyone can view the collection during library opening hours. The Women's Art Register reached its twentieth anniversary in 1995. It is a collection of national significance - a repository of the cultural heritage of Australian women artists and women's ar t practise. The archivist and volunteers maintain the ever growing collection of over 20,000 slides, documentation folders, books, journals and catalogues representing over 200 artists. The material is available for loan Australia wide.
All members are eligible to borrow material.
Members unable to visit the collection can arrange interstate loans by phone or mail and material will be posted to them. Library actively supports the Register by collecting and maintaining books, catalogues and videos on Australian and International women artists. Five educational slide kits have been produced for Australian schools and tertiary institutions. Images and resource material provide positive role models for all female students and promote the arts as a viable career choice for girls. Nine hundred slide kits have been produced and distributed to schools since 1988.
