Cultural Gifts Program and tax incentives
The Australian Government s Cultural Gifts Program provides tax incentives to encourage gifts of culturally significant items from private collections to public art galleries, libraries, museums and archives.
The National Library has received a large number of books, manuscripts, paintings, photographs, maps, and oral histories from donors who wished to obtain the benefit of a tax deduction. The Library is appreciative of the benefits of the Cultural Gifts Program and we welcome offers of materials from individuals and organisations that are interested in making use of the Program. Policies relating to acceptance of gifts by the National Library under this Program can be found below.
