| Introduction | The aim of this blog is to provide a brief outline of the history of the Launceston Mechanics' Institute and a more detailed description of the surviving or 'legacy' collection of its library. It explores the significance of the collection in a local and Australian context, and offers a possible model for resolving issues of ownership, custodianship, storage and future access. The primary purpose of the blog is to draw attention to a current threat to parts of the collection and to suggest ways to keep items of value. |
