So you think your library is pretty flash, do you? OK, but does it have a vintage book elevator? State Library of NSW

Not quite Mandy Gwan standard; but here’s my first half-decent photo of a flower. Taken walking through Hyde Park yesterday afternoon.

Fresh air, fellow historians and friends.

A wonderful afternoon with Nosey Bob at the Blackheath History Forum. Thank you to everyone who came … with special shoutouts to Richard and Naomi for the invitation 📚

Absolutely wonderful to hear from Dr Rachel Franks (she, her) at the blackheathhistoryforum this afternoon. What a stellar intellect, and the skill she has to make such a beautiful, educative book.

Stunning, stunning presentation by Dr Rachel Franks (she, her) on An Uncommon Hangman at Blackheath History Forum Blackheath History Forum

It was great fun to catch up with William Blick about all things criminal and about working in a library … fun, too, to be labelled a “Double Agent” …

Today’s a pretty special day.

We opened the first permanent museum of LGBTQI+ history in Australia.

This place gives our state the opportunity to have one of Australia’s greatest stories told.

And voices, who have been ignored - heard.

A very productive day, including a great session on making the most of the card catalogues in the Mitchell Reading Room, State Library of NSW.

I even found some greyhounds for Nancy Cushing, BA Hons, PhD (History)!

The extraordinary Joy Lai makes light bend to her will yet again … 🙏 📸
