Sugar Industry Collection

The Sugar Industry Collection is a digitised collection of books, journals and conference proceedings held in the QUT Library. It is a subset of the Sugar Research Institute Library collection previously located in Mackay, Queensland. The Institute and its Library joined QUT in 2007.

The digitised collection focusses on works dealing with sugar production and processing. Each work has been digitised with the permission of the copyright owner, leaving a number of relevant works in the print collection unable to be digitised due to copyright restrictions. The collection forms a valuable specialist resource freely available to researchers both in Australia and other countries with sugar industries, many of whom may not have access to research library collections.

The collection forms part of the Universal Digital Library Million Book Collection sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University Library and partner universities and organisations in India, China, Egypt and Australia.

QUT Library is the only Australian member of the Universal Digital Library.
