The Women's Art Register is a resource of national significance. It is an archive and repository of slides, published material and other written sources, both old and new, documenting Australian women artists, their art practice, their images and their writings. A diverse range of media and art disciplines, including craft, design, photography, installation, are represented in the archive, as well as various styles and all eras from the Victorian period.
All Australian based women artists are welcome to join and submit images. It is used by artists, curators, teachers, students, researchers, designers and the general public. Established by artists in 1975, the Register records and promotes the work of Australian based women. The earliest images date from 1840.
The Register is located at the Richmond (formerly Carringbush) Library in Melbourne and contains over 20,000 slides and 1300 information folders as well as publications, articles, statistical information and research papers. Anyone can view the collection during library opening hours.
