ALLA History
Established in 1969, the Association has grown from an informal group of six interested law librarians to a national association with over 500 members in all states and territories. ALLA represents librarians and information professionals working in courts, universities, government departments, law firms and professional associations.
​
In September 2006 members voted on a special resolution to change the name of the then Australian Law Librarians' Group (ALLG) to the Australian Law Librarians' Association (ALLA) - this became official on October 26th, 2006.
​
We are a national association with Divisions in Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. The national entity is a company limited by guarantee registered in 2012 as Australian Law Librarians' Association Ltd.
