Using the collections

If you do not have easy access to the Internet, or if you do not find the material that you are looking for, we strongly recommend that you complete the Audiovisual Access Unit enquiry form. Access Unit staff will assist you with your initial search free of charge and are sometimes able to uncover material not described in detail on Mura by searching off-line resources. We are happy to help. Send your enquiry form to the Audiovisual Access Unit by email, fax (02) 6261 4281 or post it to:

If you would like to visit the AIATSIS Audiovisual Archive to view selected material or to conduct your own research, please contact the Audiovisual Access Unit by email or phone (02) 6261 4212. The Audiovisual Access Unit is open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and access is by appointment only.
