Photograph Collections in the Fryer Library

The Fryer Library photographic collections reflect the collection strengths of Australian history and literature. There is also a collection of photographs which document the history of the University of Queensland.

Images from the Fryer Library are also contributed to the Picture Australia service. Hosted by the National Library, this website features images from the collections of the leading cultural institutions in Australia and New Zealand.

Many of the significant photograph collections are being added to the University of Queensland’s digital repository, UQ eSpace
