Welcome

Welcome to the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library Archival Database, the online catalogue for our collections. It provides access to the archives held by the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library, which include the papers of Bob Hawke, Rosemary Crowley and Chris Hurford, as well as related realia and political memorabilia.

The Bob Hawke collection alone includes nearly a thousand speeches, and items such as election campaign records and papers relating to the Australian Labor Party and the Australian Council of Trade Unions.

The Archival Database was developed by UniSA staff, in line with archival and data management standards. As more items are catalogued, and in some cases digitised, they are added to this continuously growing resource. Where Items have been digitised they can be accessed from a link on the description page for the item.
