Summary subject collecting information (definitions of the ALG collecting levels are available for reference):
Comments: English http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/default.htm Comments: Basic general collection with some significant strengths for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. Coverage of PNG & Pacific Island languages also good. The Professor Walter Simon (1893-1981) formed collection, reflects his research interests in the Chinese, Tibetan, Manchu and Mongolian languages. The collection of Professor P.O.L. Tobing also covers the field of Indonesian linguistics. Comments: Australian Language, Slang and Strine http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/aust/austlang.htm English Language http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/lang.htm Comments: http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/aust/default.htm Comments: Australian Poets and Poetry http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/aust/austpoet.htm Poetry and Poets http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/poetry/default.htm Comments: Theatre, Drama, Speaking and Debating http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/drama/default.htm Comments: Australian Fiction http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/aust/austfiction.htm Fiction http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/subjects/english/fiction/default.htm Comments: Beginning with the microfilm series German Books before 1601 special efforts were made in the 1970s to develop a representative body of the collected works of German literary authors. It includes microfilm copies of 3,087 volumes of the Yale University collection of items published in the Baroque era (1575-1740) and 23 periodical titles in which writers of the Romantic Movement (1796-1830) found expression; another series was devoted to the influence of that movement upon English writers. Comments: The French literature collection developed intensively from the 1950s to the early 1980s provides some strengths from the 18th to early 20th centuries. Formed collections (Clifford, Giuseppe Pelli, Rene Durand, French drama 1701-1840) and the microfilm series French Books before 1601 add some depth. Spanish, Italian and Portuguese collections are less extensive but include such notable material as the Valente library in Portuguese and a collection of Spanish drama in its golden age, 1492-1600.
