The J S Battye Library is an arm of the State Library of Western Australia and stores much of the States historical records and original publications including books, newspapers, periodicals, maps, ephemera, as well as oral history tapes, photographs and artworks, films and video, and non-government records which are kept in the library's Private Archives collection.

It is named after Dr James Battye, the first State Librarian who commenced the collection in the early 1900's. It was established in December 1956.

The separate State Records Office of Western Australia houses state governmental archives.

It is housed in the upper floor of the Alexander Library Building, and public access to the collection is made at that level. There is a reading room for special materials, as well as a microfilm reading room.
