As I was pleased to advise in our last newsletter, distinguished Australian journalist Kerry O’Brien has agreed to deliver the 2012 Kenneth Myer Lecture. The date of the Lecture has now been set for Tuesday 31 July at 6m in the Library Theatre. Kerry will speak on the topic, In an age awash with information, how easily we forget the past. Gary Kent The 2012 Friends White Gloves Event, scheduled for 28 June, will be a little different from those we have held previously. This year, rather than focusing on a particular aspect of the Library’s collection, the topic will be Conserving Collections. The Library’s conservators will provide advice and information on caring for paper based collections. This event is sure to be popular so book early. Many of you will be familiar with the work of John Lewin (1770-1819). He played a formative and pivotal role in the development of Australian art. According to art critic Robert Hughes, Lewin was the first to record the distinct ‘look’ of Australia without being blinded by European art conventions.

Our 2012 presenter, the well-known and respected journalist Kerry O’Brien, enthralled the audience with a perceptive and thought-provoking address on the subject In an age awash with information, how easily we forget the past. Those present clearly enjoyed the talk, for which Kerry drew on nearly five decades of experience in Australia’s media industry. We were pleased to welcome among our guests Ms Kate Baillieu, representing the Myer family and Sue Ebury, Kenneth Myer’s biographer. Since the June edition of the newsletter, we have enjoyed a number of other successful Friends events, including a lecture on Horticulture and the Office of Australian War Graves on 24 May, the Conserving Collections evening on 28 June, and the Lewin: Wild Art Lecture and Tour on 28 July. And of course we are looking to forward to our Spring Tour to the Blue Mountains in Gary Kent September and our Celebration of Hilary McPhee in October. The Friends Committee is already beginning to plan next year’s events and would be delighted to hear of any suggestions you might have for our 2013 calendar.
