Explore the New RAHS Online Library Catalogue (Test Version)
We’re excited to launch the test version of the new RAHS online library catalogue, offering researchers, members, and history enthusiasts a fresh, user-friendly way to explore our collections.
The catalogue features over 25,000 searchable catalogue records, representing around 40% of the RAHS Library’s total holdings. These records provide information about books and other publications; articles from the Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society and History magazine; RAHS conference papers (1964–1995); newsletters from affiliated societies; and a range of other serials and periodicals.
More than 500 catalogue records for photographs are also now available online, drawn from a broader collection of over 10,000 historical images. We’ll continue to add new images each month with the help of our dedicated volunteers and TAFE work placement students.
The catalogue is powered by Liberty, the same Library Management System used by many public and educational libraries, and is designed to be easy to navigate.
The following links will take you to the RAHS Test Catalogue and a downloadable User Guide to help you get started. We recommend setting up a user login so you can save searches and receive alerts when new materials related to your research interests are added.
To learn more, organise a library visit, or request research assistance, contact RAHS Librarian Donna Newton at library@rahs.org.au.
Making our collection easier to access helps us share the history of NSW and support the vital work of researchers, historians, and community storytellers.
