Our Heritage is an indispensable reference work that maps the landscape of Australia's archival and manuscript collections, presenting a comprehensive directory of repositories holding the nation's documentary memory. Compiled for the Australian Society of Archivists Inc., the volume catalogues archives and manuscript repositories across the continent, providing researchers, historians, and librarians with a structured guide to locating primary source materials — from colonial-era documents to contemporary records — preserved in institutions throughout Australia. The work stands as a landmark contribution to Australian archival science, reflecting the growing professionalisation of the archival community in the latter decades of the twentieth century. Authoritative in scope and meticulous in detail, it serves as both a practical tool and a testament to the richness of Australia's documentary heritage, leaving the reader to wonder just how much history still awaits discovery in the repositories it chronicles.
