The collection is a valuable resource for information on the activities of the artists, playwrights, and other members of the Art community in Trinidad and Tobago. It includes items such as exhibition catalogues, theatre programmes, Alfred Codallo and J. Newel Lewis prints, magazines that showcase the cultural life of Trinidad and Tobago; several items about Carlisle Chang, Derek Walcott, Beryl Mc Burnie; and recipe books. The materials were donated over the period 2003-2008 by Mrs. Irma Goldstraw, a former librarian who worked at this library. Mrs. Goldstraw was a long-standing friend of Derek Walcott and her husband Lawrence Goldstraw also performed in several of Walcott’s productions. She also wrote an annotated bibliography of Walcott's work.
