2021 Appeal Raises Record Amount
 
30 Jul 2021
The papers of the Australian Federation of Women Voters (AFWV) show part of the long journey towards equality for women, and were the focus of the National Library’s 2021 appeal.
We are enormously grateful to the many hundreds of supporters who donated to our fundraising appeal to help digitise the papers of the AFWV. This appeal was our most successful ever, raising a record $209,000 to fund the digitisation of this collection and other Library priorities.
