Together, our staff, the Executive, and the Library Council have shaped a new strategic vision and priorities which will enable us to transform ourselves, while retaining the Library ’s core role as the premier memory institution for the history of Australia and its region. We are already vigorously fulfilling this ambitious agenda. Much has been done to strengthen our governance, policies and our corporate services. We are working with NSW Trade & Investment to renew corporate systems. Workforce planning is well advanced in the Library Services division and we are reviewing our organisation so that we may rethink our processes and rebalance our staffing for current and future priorities, and to meet budget reductions. With State Government funding, we have transformed the State Reference Library reading rooms and the entry level in the Macquarie Street wing. We have developed a plan to transform the historic Mitchell Library wing and unite the buildings to create a grand new civic space for Sydney and our state. Signally, the State Government’s June 2012 budget provided $32.6 million to renew the Library ’s digital infrastructure and to greatly expand Library efforts to make its extraordinary heritage collections available digitally, statewide and globally.

The exhibition also celebrated the centenary of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–1914) (AAE) through a selection of maps, diaries and images. The Mitchell Library has an extensive collection on exploration in the southern oceans and material covering Australia’s activities in the Antarctic. From this archive, curator Maggie Patton presented over 100 historic and contemporary maps and charts to showcase the richness of that collection. Finding Antarctica offered onsite and online visitors an opportunity to view early world maps from 15th century incunabula and stunning hand-coloured charts by 17th century Dutch mapmakers. A highlight on display was Captain Cook’s hand-drawn map detailing his plans for exploring the Antarctic region. The exhibition also featured oral history recordings of AAE meteorologist Morton Henry Moyes (1886–1981) — who was accidentally left alone on the Shackleton Ice Shelf for 10 weeks — as well as a speakers program focusing on expedition diaries, mapmaking and the literature of Antarctica. Finding Antarctica was supported by the Nelson Meers Foundation.

Within the Library ’s collections are letters, manuscripts, diaries and journals that document Indigenous languages of NSW, Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania from 1788 to the 1930s. Often these are the only surviving records of particular languages. Rediscovering Indigenous Languages aims to identify as many of these wordlists as possible and make them available to the public, especially to the relevant Indigenous communities. Dr Michael Walsh, an eminent linguist of Aboriginal languages, has been engaged as the researcher for this project. Since he began in mid-2011, Dr Walsh has unveiled significant new material.

Click Here To see a sample of the frames from the dvd, please click here Photographer, LEWIS MORLEY - 46 min 37seconds PAL Video/DVD Considered one of the most significant voices of 1960's London, Lewis Morley took one of the most singular iconic images of this period - a naked Christine Keeler on an Arne Jacobson chair. At the height of the Profumo Scandal, this image of sex and power has often overshadowed his remarkable sampling of fringe actors, musicians and fringe-dwellers of London's swinging Sixties. These players included David Frost, Joe Orton, Charlotte Rampling, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, the first published photo of fashion models Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton and the young actor Michael Caine. Brian Epstein, Clint Eastwood, Judi Dench, Lindsay Anderson, Peter O'Toole, Vanessa Redgrave, John Cleese, Francois Truffaut, Salvador Dali, Tom Jones and Barry Humphries - indeed, almost everyone who was 'The Sixties". In 1971, as Swinging London faded and Britain entered a recession, Lewis and his family emigrated to Australia, where he worked extensively for Australian design & fashion magazines. He continued his portrait work including artists Lloyd Rees, Brett Whiteley, controversial figure Juni Morosi, and writer Peter Carey. The video has Morley discuss his sessions with Caine, Twiggy, Shrimpton, and the background to his working life at Peter Cook's Club 'The Establishment', where he was resident photographer. Morley takesus back in time and behind the scenes of Beyond the Fringe and That Was the Week.

Publish and Perish david a. craddock Abstract: Two major celebrations will occur during this year, 2003. The first is the bicentenary of the publication of the first Australian newspaper, the `Sydney Gazette and NSW Advertiser.' The other major event will be celebrated at the end of 2003, with the centenary of powered, controlled and sustained human flight. Although the Wright Brothers' flight was an American success, their achievement was initially based on the work of other pioneers. The work of those earlier pioneers became available to the Wrights through the medium of print. This paper explores some of the Australian linkages between the written word and those early aerial endeavours.
