Overview

Step into the heart of Australia's democracy with this new exhibition celebrating the Parliamentary Handbook — a cornerstone of parliamentary history.

Explore this iconic publication, which chronicles biographical and parliamentary information from 1901 to today.

From its earliest edition in 1915 to the digital age, the Handbook offers a fascinating glimpse into the people of Australia's Parliament. The Handbook helps tell the story of the federal parliament, incorporating much historical and contemporary information.

Information is sourced directly from parliamentarians, official parliamentary records and other primary material to provide an authoritative source.

Come and see the history for yourself and take the Parliamentary Handbook challenge.
