AustLit: The Australian Literature Resource

AustLit's Mission

AustLit's aim is to be the definitive virtual research environment and information resource for Australian literary, print, and narrative culture scholars, students, and the public.

The AustLit Resource and Virtual Research Environment

AustLit is a non-profit collaboration between a network of researchers from Australian universities and the National Library of Australia, led by The University of Queensland (UQ). Our goal is to support research in and the teaching of Australian literary, narrative, and print cultures.
