- The Geoffrey Blainey Research Centre (GBRC) is located on the top floor of the E.J. Barker Library (Mt Helen Campus) and includes a supervised reading room where collections can be accessed and read. The GBRC includes the Geoffrey Blainey Mining Collection and the Federation University Australia Special Collection, both of which can be searched online via the FedUni Library catalogue. The Federation University Australia Historical Collection is also located at the GBRC. This extensive collection of historical material dates from 1851 onwards. The collection covers material from the Federation University Australia's predecessors including the Ballarat School of Mines, Ballarat Teachers' College, State College of Victoria, Ballarat; the Ballarat Institute of Advanced Education, Ballarat College of Advanced Education, Ballarat University College, University of Ballarat and Wimmera Institute of TAFE.
