Historical information

This photo appeared in the International House magazine, Satadal, in 1961, with the caption 'A small but interesting collection of books is available for students' casual reading. A wide selection of magazines and newspapers is also provided, and administered, by the International House Students' Club.
The IH Library was formally created in 1962 as the Sir Angus Mitchell Library, with the Rotary Club of Melbourne a major source of financial support . Through 1961 and 1962, donated funds and books allowed for the development of a collection, initially focusing on necessary texts for undergraduate students, and texts on the histories and cultures of other countries.
