A selection of 400 images from the State Library of NSW's vast collection — with one for nearly every year between 1845 and 2022 — will be on show for the first exhibition in its new photo gallery.
An Emergency Warning has been issued for Tara, Kogan, Halliford, Wieambilla, Moonie, and Durong in QLD. For the latest, search onLibraries have long been about more than just books, but it may still come as a surprise that the State Library of NSW holds about 2 million photographs.
Many of the early photos in the collection were acquired inadvertently, pasted into books or official documentation. "They're not really made for exhibition. In fact, the intention of most of this stuff was never to be on a wall like this," he said.Rather than attempting to tell a comprehensive visual history of Australia, Mr Barker says the exhibition simply offers a taste of the variety in the archives.
A contact print from the negative of the famous Sunbaker is displayed alongside its envelope containing Dupain's handwritten instructions for how it should be handled in the darkroom.Almost every type of photography technology is represented in the exhibition — from the daguerreotypes of the 1840s to glass-plate negatives and digital photographs.
