Library News
Christmas and New Year closing time:
The Research Library will be closed from the 24th of December to the 8th of January 2023.
The Australian Museum Research Library specialises in material relating to zoology, taxonomy, earth sciences, cultural collections, anthropology, and museology. The Library's collection is primarily made up of printed books and journals. This includes both modern material and rare books and journals.
Search tips:
Most journals are searchable at the journal title level only, not the article level.
To search our rare material only, use the Advanced Search above.
Older library material may not be on the online catalogue. Please contact us if you require assistance.
Online databases:
If you are onsite at the Australian Museum or accessing remotely through Citrix, you can access our online taxonomical databases, Zootaxa and Zoological Record, and Informit’s Indigenous Collection via Quick Links.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander subject matter:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this website may contain images, voices or names of deceased persons in photographs, film, audio recordings or printed material. Some items in our collection may contain culturally offensive material, which reflects the author's attitude or that of the period in which the item was written that may not be considered appropriate today. These views do not necessarily reflect the views of the Australian Museum.
