Established around 1992 as the Koori Centre Research Library, the Wingara Mura Resource Centre started with a small collection of resources for the use of block mode students. The centre holds a unique collection of nearly 7000 items relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and affairs, including rare and out of print materials.
The centre provides other services including access to local and Indigenous newspapers, photocopy and printing facilities and a quiet study area, as well as on-site staff to help you find the items you need. As this is a resource centre, items are not available to borrow or take off-site.
