Description
The Burmese collections at the National Library of Australia consist of some thousands of books, journals and microfilm holdings in Burmese language and Burma/Myanmar-related materials.
Most of the collection dates from the 1950s. It includes works on economics, education, history, ethnography, language and medicine. There are also many works on Burmese culture and Buddhist religion and literature. In recent years the supply of books to the collection was intermittent but the Library has again been actively acquiring materials.
There are seven current journal titles: long-standing periodicals, such as Mahasi, some news journals, government news, opinion and popular journals, and the government gazette.
