Gifts and donations

Federation University Library welcomes offers of gifts and donations that enhance our research, teaching and cultural collections.

We accept donations of:

  • books, audiovisual materials and print serials
  • manuscript materials and artworks
  • financial gifts to support collection development
  • other material that may otherwise be of value to the Library and University.

We are also an eligible institution for donations under the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program, which provides the donor with a tax benefit.

For more information about gifting or donating to the library, view the Library gifts and donations guidelines (pdf, 49kb).
