Welcome to the John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library (JCPML).

The JCPML recognises the contribution to Australian society of wartime prime minister and international statesman, John Curtin, 1885-1945. Prime Minister Curtin's inspirational leadership and political courage unified Australia during the grim years of World War II.

The JCPML aims to advance knowledge and enrich culture by providing a focus for research and educational outreach programs which engage the Curtin and wider community.

Through this site, researchers, teachers, students and community members can access information relating to John Curtin and his life and times held in the collections of the JCPML and elsewhere.

The JCPML also cares for Curtin University Library's archival collections:
Geoff Gallop Collection
Elizabeth Jolley Research Collection
Carmen Lawrence Collection
Project Endeavour: Jon Sanders' Triple Circumnavigation of the World Collection
