'Collecting maps: an uncharted journey' presented by Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy AM at the State Library of New South Wales

Clancy has been an avid map collector for over 40 years, from $20 tourist maps to rare charts of exploration. Each map in his collection has a story attached - whether it be the first selection he bought in London or the Matthew Flinders atlas he bought in 1978. Hear Clancy discuss his collecting journal!

October 31, 2019 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Special, in-depth, curator-led tour of the Caroline Simpson Library & Research Collection (CSL&RC), the library of Sydney Living Museums.
Since the 1980s, the CSL&RC has quietly and diligently amassed a collection focusing on the post-1788 history of the home in Australia, a collection that covers a range of material culture formats. Architectural pattern books, furniture design books, manufacturers’ trade catalogues and sample books published in both Australia and overseas shine a light on our houses, interiors and gardens. Many of these publications are not held by any other Australian library.

Tour numbers are limited to 30. Book tickets by going to this link.
