Creedy Collection

This collection of works on economic history and theory was donated to the Federation University Library by Professor John Creedy, Truby Williams Professor of Economics at the University of Melbourne. Collected over four decades, this collection has been described by one of Australia's leading bookmen as "one of the best, formed single collections in a wide subject area that I have seen".
