Australian federal election, 2010

By JOL Admin | 2 August 2010

Call for assistance to collect non-Brisbane electoral ephemera! The State Library has a significant collection of ephemera.  This material, which is generally regarded by most of us as transient or “throw away” items, provides a unique perspective into Queensland’s social life, popular culture and political viewpoints.
