Historical
Featured Collections
Explore published, research-led collections from the archive.
Beyond single works, the Historical catalog holds collections built around a subject. For Australia they include the bush and open country, cinema and musical theatre, food and beverage advertising, music and concert graphics, vintage cricket, the ocean and Sydney, and the botanical work of Marian Ellis Rowan. Each collection keeps the source of every work, and any work can go straight into a brief or a licence.
