Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Collection.

The College Library has recently been focusing on the development and relevancy of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (A&TSI) collection.

The A&TSI collection not only includes non-fiction reference books, but has evolved to include novels, picture books, autobiographies, plays and poetry – personal accounts by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Importantly, our A&TSI collection not only supports the senior students at St Patrick’s studying Aboriginal Studies but offers all students the opportunity to access an array of Indigenous resources, authored by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Recent additions to this collection include:

Kindred by Kirli Saunders, Living on Stolen Land by Ambelin Kwaymullina, Common Wealth by Gregg Dreise, Homecoming by Elfie Shiosaki and The Cherry-Picker’s Daughter by Kerry Redd-Gilbert.
