The mission of the Australian and New Zealand Theological Library Association Limited is to foster the study of theology and religion by enhancing the development of theological and religious libraries and librarianship (https://www.anztla.org/about-anztla). It was formed in 1986, out of the Association for Theological and Religious Studies Libraries. It consists of a Board and regional chapters (NSW, Vic, QLD, SA, WA, NZ). Its main activities are an annual conference, scholarship schemes for librarians in the South Pacific, and the publication of the ANZTLA ejournal, the Australasian Religion Index and the Australian Union List of Theological Serials. It has also produced Standards and a Style Manual for theological libraries. It has close ties with ATLA (formerly the American Theological Library Association).

The Association was preceded by the Sub-Committee re Administration of the Wine, which was established in 1917 as a sub-committee of the Sydney Anglican Synod, and as a response to the influenza epidemic of the time. The object of the Sub-Committee was to investigate the law of the Church of England in regard to individual administration of communion wine as opposed to a common Communion Cup. In 1921 the Sub-Committee had been replaced by The Individual Cup Association which supported the use of individual cups. The records held are incomplete and relate to the issue being debated.
