The Fuller Collection was acquired from Professor John Fuller to celebrate the Institute's 50th anniversary in 1995. The collection is named after John Fuller, who was a pioneering professor in the UK's Hotel Management industry. William Angliss teaching staff member, Graham Dodgshun, was taught by Professor Fuller in England, and it was this connection that led to the possibility of obtaining the collection.
The collection consists of over 530 books on wine, distilling, brewing, viticulture, and the technological aspects of wine production, spirits, and other drinks. Many of the books date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, with the oldest published in 1736.
