Planning to work on my project during the Summer Holidays.

Any good places/libraries that you recommend?

Fischer Library, State Library ......?

Thank you!

i'd definitely recommend fisher library.. but you'll need to get a card and all. actually, i never visited state library. i guess it was mainly because i had already found the books i needed at my local library and there. good luck!

Contact Macquaire University, they are letting History Extension students use their libraries! So thats a good start!

State library + Fischer Library have heaps of books, try Macq if you're close to it

UNSW library

UNSW library

UNSW is not really renown for their arts department let alone their history faculty.

It all depends on your topic. Why not look up State Library/ all the Uni libraries and search their catalogue. It'll save you heaps of time and you'll know exactly how many books are there

Forgot about this thread... > <;

Thank you everyone for your recommendations!

I did end up visting the Fisher Library + got a a library card. Unfortunately, all the books that I wanted were in the 'Reserve' area - meaning I only read as much as I could in 2 hours; photocopied ~5 pages from each book. D: It was practically nothing...

I shall have a try at Macq. Uni. ^^

My general topic area is on: the changing representations of Cleopatra. (maybe emphasising on film representations?)

Thanks, once again.
