As the day of the 2022 Federal Election approaches (Sat 21 May 2022), this is a reminder to save all Federal Election campaign material, especially in country Victoria, to send to State Library Victoria for SLV’s Riley & Ephemera Collection.
By collecting pamphlets, how-to-vote cards and candidate posters relating to the 2022 election, we can ensure Victoria’s political history is illuminated for generations of researchers.
It’s easy to donate. Simply post items to:
