Australia's Prime Ministers

This Spotlight provides a guide to the wealth of audiovisual material in the NFSA’s collection relating to Australia’s Prime Ministers. The information has been greatly enhanced through a special project supported by the Australian Prime Ministers Centre.

For each Prime Minister, a fact sheet describes the nature and extent of the NFSA’s holdings, highlighting items of note. The sheets also provide advice on searching the NFSA’s collection database, with lists of subject keywords to help researchers discover further interesting material.

The guide will continue to develop and we welcome your feedback.
