The books are classified by an adaption of the Dewey classification system and are described on the computer database. Books are for use at the centre and are not generally available for loan.

Microfilm
The centre's collection of microfilm includes:

The Christian Mission Magazine (1869 -1878)
All extant War Crys published in Australia to 1980
The International War Cry (London) 1878 - 1899)
Full Salvation (1883 - 1896)

Computer Database
The computer records contain many thousands of references and may be accessed through Idealist which will search for any word, including places and personal names.

The database is not primarily set up for genealogical studies. Many individual Salvationists are listed but it does not contain indexes of births, deaths or marriages.
