In 2015, State Library mounted a large and successful exhibition. Distant Lines: Queensland voices of the First World War  was a major deliverable of the Q ANZAC 100: Memories for a New Generation legacy project, and proudly supported by the Queensland Government.

The exhibition showcased the State Library’s First World War collections, and explored the experiences of Queenslanders during the difficult years of the First World War.

Open from 4 April - 15 November, Distant Lines was seen by more than 50,000 visitors over seven months.

A new digital story about Distant Lines is now available via the State Library One Search catalogue. As a visual record of the exhibition, this digital story takes viewers through the exhibition spaces, and curators Kevin Wilson and Robyn Hamilton explain the curatorial intent behind its design and content.
