Following very successful previous virtual summer and winter visits, we are pleased to travel to the southern hemisphere for our 2021 summer visit to Melbourne, Australia. This will take in three libraries and their collections:

  • The State Library of Victoria
  • Baillieu Library, University of Melbourne
  • Monash University Library Special Collections

Join us on Tuesday, 27 July, for an introduction to three historic collections in the first and only UNESCO City of Literature in Australia. The virtual visits themselves will be pre-recorded but colleagues from each library will be present on the day for questions and discussion afterwards.

Please note that the time difference means our virtual visit will take place mid-morning British Summer Time.


Tuesday, 27 July 2021

10.00-11.00am BST, virtual library tours followed by Q&A

11.00-11.30am BST, time for informal conversation
