RUSI (VICTORIA BARRACKS) LIBRARY TOUR

The aim of the Royal United Services Institute of Victoria (RUSI of Victoria) is to encourage the discussion of National Security and Defence matters, and to improve public awareness and understanding of such matters.

The RUSI Library supports the organisation's aims. Its comprehensive collection of 34,000 items - books, pamphlets, magazines, maps, videos, audio tapes and more - covers works of a factual nature related to defence and national security matters in Australia, South Pacific and South East Asia regions.

Our tour will provide fascinating insights about the history and work of our defence forces using artefacts in the collection to tell some of these important stories about real events, places and people.

PLEASE NOTE - LIMIT OF 10 PARTICIPANTS FOR THIS TOUR. A WAITLIST WILL BE ACTIVATED AND AN EXTRA TOUR OFFERED IF WE HAVE SUFFICIENT EXTRA INTEREST.

Bookings required by FRIDAY 1 APRIL 2022.
