Some of the State Library's collection is stored offsite - unfortunately we can't store everything at the Library on North Terrace. These offsite collection materials will soon be relocated to the new Cultural Institutions Storage Facility.
To support this relocation, access to offsite collection materials is now paused until mid-2026.
What’s affected?
- Only collection materials stored offsite are impacted.
- Most requests are for items held onsite at the State Library, which will remain available as usual.
- You can check the storage location of collection material via the Library's catalogue.
- To check whether the materials you need are affected, please contact our friendly staff or submit an Ask Us enquiry.
- Some research queries submitted to the Library may be impacted. Library staff will work with you to identify alternative sources wherever possible.
We sincerely apologise for any disruption this may cause.
