Notas del editor
- The State Library of Queensland is a research and reference library located in Brisbane’s Cultural Centre. We have many resources and services to help students and teachers.
- The State Library provides access to our print collections in the library and does not lend most collection items directly to individuals. We provide access to ebooks and selected databases from offsite locations to e-services card holders and QPL (Queensland Public Library) account holders. You may be able to borrow items through the interlibrary loan service provided by your local library. Queensland residents can borrow items from our music scores collection.
- Some of our rare materials may only be viewed at the State Library
- The John Oxley Library contains collections comprising a variety of formats including journals, books, magazines, newspapers, ephemera, art works, maps, films, manuscripts, photographs, oral histories, and digital stories materials that preserve the story of Queensland’s 150 years of social, economic, and political development. In the next section I run through a few of our favourite things.
- Image Number: 194778
- The Rawson brothers Charles Collison Rawson, Edmund Rawson and Lancelot Rawson established the cattle station "The Hollow" on the Pioneer River at Mackay in 1866. The Rawsons were also involved in the sugar and coal industries. Charles Rawson was also an active figure in the North Queensland Separation movement. In 1877 and 1878 Rawson went on expeditions to Mt. Dalrymple. This collection contains manuscripts, photographs, photographic albums, ephemera and printed material relating to the establishment and development of "The Hollow" cattle station at Port Mackay. Contained also are family histories of the Rawson family and material relating to activities of several family members until the 1940s. Winifred Rawson relaxing on the verandah, with her friend, at their house called the Hollow, in the Mackay area, around 1895.
- Discovered by Italian tenor Pietro Cecchi, critics said soprano Helen Porter Mitchell (later Dame Nellie Melba) had a ravishing voice, of flawless purity and aflame with brilliance. Married disastrously, with one child, George, Melba claimed in a letter to Cecchi, that she was ‘as poor as it is possible for any one to be’ and needed to earn some money. ‘My husband is quite agreeable for me to adopt music as a profession’, she wrote. Cecchi arranged Melba’s debut in Australia. In March 1886, she headed overseas, where her new teacher in Paris, Mme Mathilde Marchesi, transformed her voice.
- 3347 Roy Proctor Papers This was one of the first archival collections listed and described by the presenter (Simon Farley). Letters and postcards written by Roy Proctor to his sister Ruby between 1915 and 1917. These give a personal insight into Proctor’s experiences as he journeyed to the front line, including training in Egypt, and R&R in England. A letter from Proctor’s captain to his mother is also included along with photographs Roy Proctor was killed in action in 1917.
- These postcards and images provide more than a book can do
- They show the emotional side
- Roys sister Ruby would get these postcards out each ANZAC and remembrance day and weep over the loss of her brother, like many others from the time. Ruby’s son provided this information when the papers were purchased in the 1990s
- Excerpt page 20 transcription.. Tuesday June 21st Lat. 15º26’ Lon 34º20’ Dis 196 m This morning I was sent for into the Captains cabin to undergo a medical examination by our illustrious Doctor, as the last charge in the list mentioned yesterday was a complaint from me of being hosed by the 1st Mate on the day we crossed the line, to which I attributed a severe cold, symptoms of which have been only too apparent since that time. I meed hardly say after what I had stated before that the examination was a complete farce* to my surprise he said at the close “you are considerably better than when I last examined you” When I of course I replied, much to the Captn’s astonishment, ‘Why, Doctor, you never saw my chest before” which was the fact. The Doctor’s memory is the most treacherous I ever met with, constantly asking a person in sound health if he took that medicine, or if he *(he only applied the stethoscope once to each side & that for only a moment) (End page 93) (Page 94) Put on that plaster etc etc ad libstum. He generally styles me Mr Watt & vice versa. Add to this, that he is pretty far gone in his cups (not drunk though) every night, & you may form some idea as to his ability & fitness to take the charge of 300 souls.

- History and Art of the Book Collection Printed in 1475 this book is the oldest printed book in the State Library’s History and Art of the Book Collection. In this book, Laertii Diogenis Vitae et sententiae eorum qui in philiosophia probati fuerunt , or, Lives of the philosophers by Diogenes Laertius, we can see the capital letters are hand-drawn in the way they were in manuscripts before the invention of printing. The type used is called Roman type and was developed by printer Nicholas Jenson (1420-1480) who probably studied in Mainz, where the first printing press in the West had been invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the early 1450s. In 1470 Jenson set up a workshop in Venice, and in the ten years before his death in 1480, he issued more than 70 works, mostly Latin and Greek classics, many of which were illuminated and decorated. The binding is not original and the size of the book has been altered. It is clear the pages have been trimmed by the way the notes in the margin have been cut off. A second book has been bound in with this volume which is not an unusual occurrence for the time. The second book was also printed in Venice, in 1476, by Andrea Katharensis, and is a Latin translation of a Greek text, Cornelii Taciti illustrissimi historici se situ moribus et populis germaniae, Libellus aureus .
- Sumerian tablet and envelope 2028 BCE fired clay tablet and envelope Australian Library of Art, State Library of Queensland / RB 411.7 2028BC Marble memorial tablet 150-200 CE marble Australian Library of Art, State Library of Queensland / RB 411.7 2nd cent. AD Drawn to the word displays items from History and Art of the Book Collection that reveal the relationship between the arts of writing and image-making from the very earliest antiquities - when text and image were indistinguishable - through to twentieth century collaborations between writers and artists. The earliest objects on display are from the State Library of Queensland’s small collection of antiquities. Made of clay, stone, papyrus or cloth, they bear little resemblance to the familiar book form of today. These objects date from 2028 BCE (Before Common Era), to the 7th century CE (Common Era), and show a variety of early writing styles, from cuneiform (meaning ‘wedge-shaped’) and hieroglyphic characters on clay tablets, to hieratic (a cursive form of hieroglyphs written with a reed pen on linen or papyrus), to Roman and Coptic inscriptions. Often these tablets contained quite mundane business and legal transactions, while some, such as the Egyptian funerary cone before 525 BCE, were part of elaborate funerary practices. In the first few centuries CE, handwritten books or manuscripts began to appear in the book form we recognise today. Known as the ‘codex’ style, the earliest book of this type in the collection is the Lives of the philosophers published by Nicholas Jensen in 1475 - within 40 years of the printing press being invented.2 The ability to print numerous copies of the same book, rather than single, hand-written tomes, democratised and increased access to books and the information contained in them. Although it is a printed book, and part of this revolution, the Lives of the philosophers still retains a link to past conventions through the delicately hand-painted letters announcing each section.
- This title is one in the rare books collection they have beautiful hand-coloured plates showing the uniforms.

- Online newspaper databases have been around for quite a while now providing users with an historic treasure trove of press articles from a wide variety of titles and from different periods in time. The State Library of Queensland enables access to these subscription only newspaper databases via its website for e-service card holders. They include the Times Digital Archive 1785-1985 searchable by key word and including all articles, advertisements and illustrations and photos, Newsbank providing acces to full text articles from more than 230 Queensland, Australian, and international titles from 1998 onwards, Library Press Display which provides a full-colour, full page collection of today’s newspapers from over 70 countries around the world in 37 languages, and National Library’s wonderful Historic Australian Papers, 1803 to 1954 which includes The Courier Mail and The Queenslander. Before the advent of online databases librarians in the John Oxley Library clipped articles of interest on a daily basis from Queensland newspapers placing these in folders with various subject headings. We still add to these files although the need to exhaustively cut from hardcopy papers is not as pressing as it was prior to the existence of the above mentioned digital resources. On December 18, 2010 in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Weekend Magazine, journalist Frank Robson contributed an intriguing feature article “Family Secrets” on the subject of the 1973 firebombing of Brisbane’s Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub in Fortitude Valley. This firebombing resulted in the deaths of 15 patrons and staff making it one of the worst mass murders in modern Australia until the Port Arthur massacre in 1996. John Stewart and James Finch were tried and convicted for the Whiskey Au Go Go murders and sent down to Brisbane’s Boggo Road Gaol were they continued to proclaim their innocence. Stuart died in prison in 1979. In the article Robson interviews Danny Stewart, nephew of John Stewart, who claims that his uncle was innocent of the crime. I’ve added this to the substantial clippings file we have on the “Whiskey Au Go Go Fire, 1973″ as the latest instalment on this horrific event and its aftermath. The pictures in the article do not appear in Newsbank, although the text does. If you see the pictures they certainly contibute to the story and this is one of the reasons I’ve added this article to our clippings file. It also complements the other articles in the file from titles like The Sun , The Bulletin , The Toowoomba Chronicle , The Courier Mail , and many others. Most of these articles are from the 70s and 80s and are not available online. Newspaper clippings are of great value to researchers as they bring together articles on the same subject from different periods in time resulting in a greater variety of perspectives.
- The State Library of Queensland's newspaper collections is comprised of paper, microfilm and online editions of Queensland, interstate, national and overseas newspapers, both current and historical. In many instances our collections date back to the first issue. The State Library of Queensland holds an extensive range of Queensland newspapers as well as selected interstate and overseas titles. The majority of old newspapers are held on microfilm. The worker is an interesting paper which reflects the views of the union movement at the time. Lots of satirical cartoons Theme of war between the states

- BACKGROUND INFO Camden Society http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camden_Society The Camden Society , named after the early English historian William Camden , was founded in 1838 in London to publish early historical and literary materials, both unpublished manuscripts and new editions of rare printed books. The original membership was 500. It reached a peak of 1250 in 1845, and began to decline thereafter. For an annual subscription (originally £1 per year), members received the Society's publications, roughly two volumes per year. The Society published some works jointly with the Early English Text Society . By the 1880s, the Camden Society was experiencing financial problems, brought about in part by a project to create a general index to its first 100 volumes. In 1896, the Society merged with the Royal Historical Society . Hakluyt Society http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakluyt_Society Founded in 1846, the Hakluyt Society is a registered charity based in London, England , which seeks to advance knowledge and education by the publication of scholarly editions of primary records of voyages, travels and other geographical material. The Society is named after Richard Hakluyt (1552–1616), a collector and editor of narratives of voyages and travels and other documents relating to English interests overseas. Supplementary to its primary role as a publisher of scholarly texts, the Society also attempts to advance its aims by organising and participating in meetings, symposia and conferences which contribute to an increased awareness of geographical exploration and cultural encounter. The Society is a non-profitmaking institution administered by a voluntary and unpaid team of council members and officers. Membership is open to all who have an interest in exploration and cultural encounter. The main activity of the Society is the publication of scholarly editions of primary sources on the voyages and travels undertaken by individuals in many parts of the globe. These include early accounts dealing with the geography , ethnology and natural history of the regions visited. The Society has to date published over 200 editions in some 350 volumes. All editions are published in English. Early English Text Society http://www.eets.org.uk/ list of publications http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_English_Text_Society The Early English Text Society is an organization to reprint early English texts, especially those only available in manuscript. Most of its volumes are in Middle English and Old English . It was founded in England in 1864 by Frederick James Furnivall ; its stated goal in a report of the first year of their existence was "on the one hand, to print all that is most valuable of the yet unprinted MSS. in English, and, on the other, to re-edit and reprint all that is most valuable in printed English books, which from their scarcity or price are not within the reach of the student of moderate means." It is known for being the first to print many English manuscripts, including Cotton Nero A.x , which contains Pearl , Sir Gawain and the Green Knight , and other poems. By its own count, the Society has published 344 volumes.

Each set of 4 icons is just 4 versions of the same clip. Go down to item no. 5 ca. 1933 and you’ll find some exciting footage of the Empire Theatre in Toowoomba burning down in 1933 Go a lot further down to Item no. 29, 1942 and you’ll find footage of 'Australian 7th Division march through city after return from Middle East c.1942. It’s right at the beginning of the clip and not bad footage, plus fits in with a military theme. A fun clip, but perhaps without great historical significance, is Barney the Dog . You’ll find that in the Littleton Bullock Motion Picture 1939 catalogue record – but I got there by searching on ‘Barney the Dog’ and restricting it to Digital Resources. Screen shots at the end of this email. For footage of 1974 Brisbane flood, search Brisbane flood 1974 Eric Gaehler (restricted to Digital Resources) and you’ll find good footage.
