Title: A collection of words | Literary collections at the University of Melbourne Archives

URL: http://umaliteraryarchives.wordpress.com/

Description: The purpose of this blog is to bring to light material that deserves its place in Australian literary history as well as to provoke discussion and inspiration amongst those interested in the past, present and future Australian literary scene. It is also with anticipation that writers can use material in UMA to help them thematically as well as stylistically, and deepen the context of literature in the collection by contemporary engagement. The literary and publishing collections at the University of Melbourne Archives (UMA) centre on the creation and publication of literary works, as well as the records of unions and organisations that deal with people working in the literary and publishing fields. The collections range from the papers of individual authors, publishing houses, and book collectors to the operational documents of literary journals, trade unions, and printing firms. Whilst the publishing and printing collections contain mainly business and operating records, the literary collections contain a richness of primary material from diaries & notebooks, correspondence, artwork, and photographs.
