The 741 natural history watercolours comprise one of the largest archives of the First Fleet period, and constitute the Library’s most significant addition of early colonial material since the 1930s. Aylmer Bourke Lambert, a wealthy gentleman collector and botanist, compiled the collection from Surgeon General John White’s specimens and drawings brought from Sydney to London in 1795. The 13th Earl of Derby, a legendary collector of natural history, acquired the drawings from Lambert’s estate sale in 1842. The albums are in excellent condition, having remained in the Derby library ever since. Three of the albums were sent to England’s leading ornithologist, John Latham, who used them to publish many of the first descriptions of Australian birds. The other three albums, which have never been described or seen before, depict exquisite drawings and watercolours of Australian fish, flowers and plants. An extraordinary acquisition, the TAL & Dai-ichi Life collection is a valuable addition to the Library’s collection of journals, diaries, letters, maps, books and watercolours. 4 Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report Opposite: PURPLE swamphen [porphyrio porphyrio] LEFT: Australian KING Parrot [alisterus sCapularis] BELOW: eastern qUOLL [dasyurus viverrinus] The Library’s most significant addition of early colonial material since the 1930s 6 Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report opposite: Black swan [Cygnus atratus] LEFT: GOLDEN GUINEA flower [hibberta sCandens] Below: UNIDENTIFIED FISH Comprising one of the largest archives of the First Fleet period 8 Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report 10 Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report 11 THE NEW glasshouse LEARNING space Creating a dynamic space When the Glasshouse Learning Space was launched in May 2011, it was revealed as a dynamic education centre fitted out with the latest learning resources and technologies. Through designing, developing and delivering high-quality learning programs for everyone from K–12 students and teachers to lifelong learners, children and families, the Library fulfills the goal of enabling equitable access to our collections and expertise. Lifelong learners are offered tours of the Library and courses from ‘Where do I start?’ for researchers, to ‘Social networking’ for beginners; while schoolchildren and teachers participate in exhibition- related courses and workshops specifically linked to the curriculum, and special courses for gifted and talented children; and for younger children and their families, storytelling sessions. With NSW Government support, the State Library has embarked on a major renovation project, focusing on creating a welcoming and accessible Library. With the launch of the Glasshouse Learning Space, the first stage of this project was completed. The next stage of the renovations transforms the State Reference Library and this will be followed by major changes to the ground floor space encompassing the Library Shop, the Cafe and foyer areas. These renovations will enable the Library to meet the ever-changing demands in information service delivery and improve access to its collections and resources onsite and online. 12 Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report 14 Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report Library Council of NSW 2010–11 Annual Report 15 opposite: A&A Photographic CO, WET plate glass negative, ON 4/BOx 8/NO. 18821 LEFT: DIGITISING A holtermann glass plate negative Revealing extraordinary details In 1951, 3500 nineteenth century glass plate negatives were discovered in a garden shed in Chatswood.

The newly rich Bernhardt Otto Holtermann employed Merlin and Bayliss to photograph gold-producing areas and cities in NSW and Victoria for exhibition overseas.

  • The Buck Stops with ABC Local Radio
    For immediate release Thursday 24 September 2009 The Buck stops with ABC Local Radio ABC Local Radio NSW is delighted to announce that triple J Breakfast presenter and ABC personality Robbie Buck will be the new host of the NSW Evenings program - heard across regional Local Radio NSW, 702 ABC Sydney and 666 ABC Canberra. Robbie starts in January 2010 and brings with him over 20 years of experience in the radio industry, a love for Australian music, plus natural skills as an entertainer. “As the Evening Show is heard throughout NSW and the ACT, I'm especially excited that Robbie has a very strong connection to regional NSW, having spent much of his early life in Lismore, and appeared on radio there from a very young age. ” said James O’Brien ABC Local Radio Manager NSW. “In common with Adam Spencer, Simon Marnie, Angela Catterns and many others who have made the transition from triple j to 'grown up radio' I think the appointment demonstrates the significant role the ABC plays in developing both on-air and off-air talent.” Robbie is a highly valued team member of triple j, hosting the popular Breakfast program with The Doctor and Marieke since early 2008. He has hosted Lunch, Drive and Weekend shifts while working with the national youth network for the last 11 years. Robbie was central to the launch and growth of Home and Hosed – an Australian music program including national tours and album compilations giving new Australian performers an industry break and exposure. Robbie also has the unique distinction of having hosted the Hottest 100 of All Time in 1998 and 2009.

  • Contested Territorialities in Millers and Dawes Points, Sydney, Australia
    Contested Territorialities in Millers and Dawes Points, Sydney, Australia Helen Karathomas A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science University of New South Wales September 2015 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES - Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname: Karathomas First name: Helen Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Biological Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty: Science Title: Contested Territorialities in Millers and Dawes Points, Sydney, Australia. Abstract (350 words maximum): Millers and Dawes Points are two harbour side, inner city suburbs of Sydney that have been subject to contests over space. Because of Millers and Dawes Points’ histories, the area contains some of Sydney’s oldest residential housing. More recently, certain areas within Millers and Dawes Points have experienced residential and commercial gentrification. This thesis extends existing gentrification studies through a middle range framework, which includes the concepts of ‘territoriality’, ‘sense of place’ and ‘placelessness’. This theoretical framework increases our understandings of the changes occurring in local areas. Nestled within the suburbs of Millers and Dawes Points are pockets of social housing occupied by residents who are dubbed the ‘traditional community’. The traditional community live cheek by jowl with some of the area’s wealthier residents who reside in the suburbs’ ‘privatopias’ (McKenzie 1994, 9). These wealthier residents are gentrifiers who I have labelled as the ‘new community’ in this thesis. This thesis identifies how these communities have developed distinct senses of and attachments to place that have been constructed and manifested within Millers and Dawes Points’ complex and contested terrain.
