About the National Library of Australia
The National Library of Australia is the country's largest reference library. Our role is to ensure that documentary resources of national significance relating to Australia and the Australian people, as well as significant non-Australian library materials, are collected, preserved and made accessible either through the Library itself or through collaborative arrangements with other libraries and information providers.
Our Collections
The Library holds the greatest collection in the world of material relating to Australia and the Australian people. It ranges from the earliest European works about the Great Southern Land to the most current publications. The collection includes all formats of material, from books and magazines to pictures, photographs, maps, sheet music, oral history recordings, manuscript papers, ephemera and much, much more!

You mean a group of aborigines (noun) and not the adjective: aboriginals.

James said:
[https://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksonstreet] The word 'Aboriginal' is frequently used as a noun these days, being short for 'Aboriginal people'. In fact, many Aboriginal people much prefer it to 'Aborigines' which for them has developed negative connotations. www.commonground.org.au/learn/aboriginal-or-indigenous
