On February 16, 2003, one of Brisbane’s largest mass protests took place when an estimated 100,000 people rallied against a military invasion of Iraq, though police more conservatively assessed only half that number turned out. The State Library of Queensland holds a digital collection of photographs documenting the events of this day which can be viewed online. The photographs were taken by SLQ’s former photographer Reina Irmer.
