Detail InformationEdit

“The University of Sydney Library is the library system of the University of Sydney. According to its publications, it is the largest academic library in the southern hemisphere, with a print collection of over 5.1 million items (circa 2005). It is composed of twelve libraries across eight campuses of the university. The main building, Fisher Library, is named after Thomas Fisher, an early benefactor.
Amongst the collection are many rare items such as one of the two extant copies of the Gospel of Barnabas, a first edition of Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica by Sir Isaac Newton, and the only known extant copy of the little-known but invaluable On the mental inferiority of the people of Southern Africa by Dr David Livingstone.

Fisher Library is the main branch of the library system, located on Eastern Avenue on the Camperdown campus, adjacent to Victoria Park. Its collection focuses on humanities, social science and commercial disciplines. The original Fisher Library, in the nineteenth century, was housed in the Quadrangle in what is presently the Senate Room. A purpose-built Fisher Library was completed in 1908 at the south-western corner of the Quadrangle, with its former reading room now known as MacLaurin Hall. The library was moved to its present location in 1962. Although it appears to be one building, the university classifies it as two separate buildings which are connected by foyer areas on the lower floors.”
