Dear National Library of Australia,

This is a Freedom of Information Request for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

I request access to the Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for the National Library of Australia,

Given the upcoming holiday period for the APS (happy holidays to you reading this), I forecast my consent for any required 30 day extension to deal with the request at this time.

Yours faithfully,

Glenn Hamiltonshire

Dear Glenn,

Thank you for your FOI request. We acknowledge receipt.

Hi Glen

Thank you for your request for copies of the Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for the National Library of Australia.

You advised on 18 December 2024 that you are happy to proceed under Administrative Access rather than through the FOI process.

There are two attached documents within the scope of your request:
(a) National Library of Australia Supplementary Style Guide 18 March 2024; and
(b) National Library of Australia Brand Guidelines December 2024 - Interim Version.

These guidelines should not be used to replicate any of the Library's communication or services.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Regards
Peter
