Griffith Artworks has produced an on-line catalogue for the Griffith University Art Collection, as a resource for researchers on the Internet. The on-line catalogue provides public access to information on this significant collection of Australian art since 1975. Where permission from artists has been granted, researchers can access scanned images and written commentaries of works held in the Collection.

Griffith Artworks would like to acknowledge the support of the Gordon Darling Foundation (GDF) in funding the Special Project Officer position.
In September 2010 Griffith Artworks (GAW) applied for support from the Gordon Darling foundation to fund a special Project Officer position during 2011. It was proposed that the Special Project Officer would be chosen from amongst the GAW Short Internship Program participants, and that the position would facilitate the transfer of hard copy catalogue information (both text and image) to digital form. This intiative will enable the Griffith University Art Collection to become more accessible to the public via an expanded online catalogue, and will preserve fragile and vulnerable records that would otherwise be at risk.
In December of 2010 funds were successfully acquired from the Gordon Darling Foundation. Lisa Bryan-Brown, who completed the Short Internship Program in 2010, has now joined the GAW team as the new Special Project Officer. In her short time with GAW, Lisa has already digitised hundreds of slides and has just begun work on a copyright project to make these images available on the online catalogue.
