From the Owners Corporation Network website is this extract:
All the correspondence between the executive committee, the strata manager and any service provider or lawyers should be available for viewing. If something is missing the Act allows you to request that it be produced within 10 days. You are entitled to write notes or copy anything and take this copy away.
You should be able to take a photo of any docs with your smart phone.
