State Library of NSW databases

There are many online databases available to NSW citizens for searching via the State Library of NSW website.

You must have a Readers' Card to access these databases, and this can be arranged by visiting this page and completing the on-line form. Your card will be delivered to the physical address which you nominate when completing the online form.

When you visit the State Library of NSW website, go to eResources, and browse there - it's a good idea to determine which database you want to use before logging in with your Readers' Card.
