All are welcome, but space is limited.

These seminars highlight research and work in VUW Library's Special Materials Collections.

This month we hear first from Dr Sydney Shep on how to build a “Legacy Library” out of the tantalising shards of a collector’s life – in this case Robert Coupland Harding, NZ’s pre-eminent typographer and printer.

Then Di Dickson (left) discusses her archival appraisal of the Papers of Mary Boyd (1921-2011), eminent historian, lecturer and member of the Waitangi Tribunal.

If possible, we also hear from Jill Durney at the University of Canterbury, on how collections and services are faring at the Macmillan Brown Library.
