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

 

[girlfromspace]

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.
