History is a personal fascination – so I decided to call into the NSW State Library today to have a look at the “National Treasures” exhibition before it closes on 22nd October.
Various historical documents: Captain Cook’s Log book from 1770, Bank’s diary from the same journey; diaries from Australian WW2 POWs; Eddie Mabo’s papers; various pioneer diaries from turn of the century; legal documents from transported convicts.
Documents are important: they are physical evidence of our history. Go have a squiz.
