The Monash University library has good collections in the fields of later British, Imperial, USA, early modern English, eighteenth century European, Australian and Southeast Asian history. The Monash Centre of Southeast Asian Studies coordinates research work in its field; it has built up an extensive collection of sources on microfilm and microfiche in addition to other documentary material. The facilities of the State Library of Victoria (including the La Trobe Library) and other libraries in Melbourne are readily available to Monash research students. The State Library of Victoria is rich in nineteenth century British and French material, while the Australian holdings of the La Trobe Library rival the National and Mitchell libraries' collections.
