Cultural Gifts Program
The Cultural Gifts Program offers tax incentives to encourage people to donate cultural items to Australian public collections.
Special
Collections welcomes offers of archival and non-archival materials that
are considered either rare, unique, or fragile and not commercially
available to enhance areas associated to the University’s learning,
teaching and research programs. These materials may include
bibliographic items, ephemera, memorabilia, objects, manuscripts and
digital items.
Gifts are only accepted if they fall within the
Special Collections Policy and if the value exceeds the cost of the
valuers' fees and the administrative costs.
For further information, contact Heather Teymant, Senior Librarian, Metadata and Collections.
