About the State Library
The State Library of New South Wales is one of Australia's oldest and most important public institutions.

Collecting actively since 1826, the Library preserves and presents the social, cultural and scientific history of our State and our Nation for the benefit of all.

Its rich collections, both physical and digital, alongside partnerships with the public library network across NSW and other vibrant collaborations enable Australians to examine their past and imagine their future.

In short, the Library occupies a unique position at the very heart of our civil society.

The Mitchell Librarian and Engagement Division supports the State Library's engagement with the people of NSW and beyond.

The Division is led by the Mitchell Librarian who also has a special responsibility for managing the highly significant collection of rare books, images, manuscripts and other material organized around the library of David Scott Mitchell which was given to the State in the early twentieth century.

The Division is responsible for the creative and intellectual development of exhibitions, promotion and analysis of the Mitchell Library Collection, support for scholarship, learning and Indigenous engagement, media and communications, public programs, along with design and publications.

The Mitchell Library is a uniquely important research collection which documents the development of Australia and its region from the earliest times to the present today.

The Mitchell Librarian provides advice to the State Librarian on all these and related matters.
