The Carmelite Library in Middle Park has been successful in its application for a Community Heritage Grant (CHG) from the National Library of Australia (NLA). It is one of 55 community-led organisations that will receive a CHG in 2024.
The Library has been awarded $7,550 to fund Conservation and Collection Management Activities associated with the Carmelite Library’s Rare Books Collection. This is great news for the library and will facilitate much needed work on this unique and significant collection. The Carmelite Library’s collection is the spiritual patrimony of the Carmelite Province and the grant will help ensure that rare and valuable materials are preserved and available for future generations to access.
Please see this week’s media release from the NLA, a blog post on the latest grant round, and a full list of this year’s grant recipients.
