The Library of the Aboriginal Gallery of Dreamings stands as both an archive and a living resource. It brings together the history of our past exhibitions, the rare catalogues that recorded them, and the scholarship that has grown alongside Aboriginal art over more than three decades. Each item held here is more than a document — it is a witness to cultural moments, exhibitions that reshaped understanding, and artists whose voices continue to resonate across generations.
This collection is not static. Just as the art of our communities evolves, so too does the Library. It will be updated with new catalogues, essays, and records that emerge from forthcoming exhibitions, ensuring that the legacy of Aboriginal artists is continuously preserved and shared.
The Library exists to serve collectors, scholars, and all those drawn to the depth of Aboriginal culture. It offers a place where the past and present meet — where visitors can retrace the path of historic exhibitions, and also look ahead to the narratives still unfolding. Through these catalogues and publications, the story of Aboriginal art is told in detail, with the integrity and reverence it deserves.
