Friends of Battye Library

This year the Friends of Battye Library celebrates its 28th anniversary and currently has approximately 180 members. Inaugurated on 6 July 1981, the Friends support not only the Battye Library, which is part of the State Library of Western Australia, but also the State Records Office which was established in 1989. The Friends’ aims are to assist and promote the interests of the J S Battye Library of West Australian History and the State Records Office with particular concern for the acquisition, preservation and use of archival and documentary materials.

Sir Paul Hasluck was the Friends’ first President and since then many distinguished historians, researchers and philanthropists have accepted the roles of President and Patron of the organisation. The current patron is Mrs Ruth Reid.
