It mainly deals with Australian history, with some unique local histories and rare books and contains much of the material Manning Clark used in writing the famous multi-volume work, A History of Australia. The library is part of Manning Clark House, a lively, scholarly and cultural organisation based at the former Canberra home of Professor Manning Clark, Australia¿s best known historian, and his wife, Dymphna Clark.
