State Library of New South Wales

Australia's State Library of New South Wales and Rio Tinto are working together to recognise and celebrate the enormous and unique contribution indigenous people have made and continue to make to Australia, by bringing the Mitchell's Indigenous collections "online". With support from Rio Tinto and the Rio Tinto Aboriginal Fund, the library is electronically recording and cataloguing thousands of pieces held in the Mitchell collection.

This enables the library's rare collection to become accessible to Australians and others around the world, enhancing awareness of the history of relationships between indigenous Australians and European settlers, as well as celebrating the contribution of indigenous Australians to culture, sport, science, education, the arts and literature throughout our history.
