Insights into 19th and 20th Century Queensland working life

Discover special documents in which workers from the past tell us in their own words the context of their working lives and the nature of their living conditions. State Library holds an extensive collection of original materials such as diaries, station records, correspondence, images, and much more. These records are valuable in creating a real sense of the lives of our ancestors beyond birth, death and marriage dates.

Join us after the event for a White Gloves Experience showcasing original materials to take your family history research up a level.
