Read about the development of the Alfred Deakin Prime Ministerial Library at Deakin University. Although the ADPML first opened to the public in March 2009 in its own dedicated space, it had been a concept and a collection for some time previously.
Building
It was the re-development of the Dennys Lascelles Building at the Geelong Waterfront Campus which provided the Alfred Deakin Prime Ministerial Library with a physical presence, including a public reading room, archive stack and exhibition gallery.
