The John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library (JCPML) is still building its collection of materials and memorabilia connected with John Curtin. Refer to the JCPML Program Statement for more details.
If you think you know where old letters, newspapers, scrapbooks or photographs that have a link with John Curtin may be stored, please contact us. We would also welcome contact from anyone who wishes to share a first-hand experience of meeting or seeing John Curtin.
If you own such memorabilia, you may wish to donate it to the JCPML where it will be placed in secure and environmentally suitable storage to ensure its preservation for future generations. If you wish to retain your original material, we would appreciate the opportunity to make a copy to add to the collection.
