About Us

In the past, the museum was the more public face of the institution with regular exhibitions and programs for the public to visit onsite and online; while the library was the preserve of scholars and researchers who would sit amongst the stacks of books and periodicals from centuries past.  But over the years, the museums’ curators have mined the library’s treasures both for inspiration and exhibition materials, developing in audiences greater interest in what the library holds. 

We wanted to build on this by making the library materials more accessible. So for those with an interest in visual culture, the collections tab now features artworks, photographs, maps, newspaper and magazine illustrations. Those needing to do serious research can access the library collection through the research tab. We will soon be opening our reading room so that those needing to see the original manuscripts will be able to come and spend time with the materials.
