The Scholars' Centre houses a wide range of manuscript material: items from the pre-printing era, printed works in their original manuscript form, and historical papers. Included in the Manuscript Collection are Australian literary works, correspondence, medieval manuscripts, and an unpublished history of the University of Western Australia.
A full list of the items in the Manuscript Collection can be found in the Library's Catalogue.
For access to items in the Manuscript Collection in the evenings and at the weekends, you must make prior arrangements with the Principal Librarian of the Scholars' Centre.
