Learn with the curators of the Treasures Gallery

In this recorded webinar, you will learn with the curatorial team behind the recently refreshed Treasures Gallery and hear some of their favourite stories behind the collections and services of the National Library of Australia. Members of the Exhibition team will discuss items from this diverse exhibition, on topics including the Library’s Asian Collection, the papers of pioneering female aviator Freda Thompson, and key moments from Australia’s democratic history. Guest expert, Kate Ross, will reflect on thirty years of “one of the biggest collections that people might not be aware of”, the Australian Web Archive. Curator Nicole Schwirtlich will offer further insights into the considerations taken by the Exhibitions team in selecting and displaying these precious items. You will be invited to reflect on what it means to consider something a ‘treasure’, and have the opportunity to look closely at a range of objects from the collection. Website navigation is modelled throughout the video to help you learn to access digitised versions of these items. The session also includes the inspiring case study of the Lockhart Family’s collection of photographs and information around family history services to get you started on your family history research journey. Follow your curiosity in the Treasures Gallery and decide for yourself, what makes a treasure?
