ABOUT THE CALLAWAY CENTRE

The Callaway Centre is an international centre for music education resources and research. It is based in the School of Music at the University of Western Australia where it receives support from the Frank Callaway Foundation for Music and operates in association with the University's Reid Library and Wigmore Music Library. The centre is a non-commercial and co-operative organization which publishes quality academic books in music and music education and houses several archival collections of international significance.

The nucleus of the Centre's holdings is the comprehensive and unique collection of music education materials which include the correspondence, publications and professional library of Emeritus Professor Sir Frank Callaway, presented to the University on his retirement in 1984. Since then the collection has vastly increased through the acquisition of several archival collections, as well as through the donation of materials from individuals and publishers.
