description: The art gallery's volumes of art-related clippings date from 1871
to the present. Along with the State Library of Victoria, they are the most
complete and oldest collection of their type in Australia. Major aims and
objectives of this project are to facilitate wider use of the collection by art
researchers, improve preservation of the collection techniques and explore the
resources required to undertake major digitisation. |
