Art & Heritage Collections
The most exciting part of Art & Heritage Collections' work is the way in which the nexus between collections, art and culture, and the academic disciplines is utilised to present innovative projects to both the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ and the broader community. To celebrate NAIDOC week, Art & Heritage Collections collaborated with the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ Library's Special Collections and the Discipline of Linguistics to present a display on Endangered Languages: disappearing diversity. This was drawn from the holdings of the Library and personal collections of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ academics working in this area. A symposium discussing the same theme will be held on Thursday 9 July in the Ira Raymond Room, Barr Smith Library. Projects such as these ensure that ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ collections play an important part in the cultural landscape of South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. Mirna Heruc, Manager, Art & Heritage Collections
