Legal deposit is a law that ensures our published heritage is preserved for future generations. Legal deposit collections form a diverse and inclusive picture of the nation, capturing what we are thinking, imagining and writing about over time. If you want your book to be available and discoverable in 100 years’ time, this is the best way to achieve that goal.
If you make a book available to the public in Australia, for free or for sale, you need to deposit a copy with the National Library of Australia, and with your state or territory library through legal deposit. And this applies to independently published and self-published books, too.
