Come visit The Edge and check out our new entry screens featuring a compilation of State Library's digital archives!
We're eager to showcase Queensland's rich cultural history through digital activations and State Library of Queensland holds more than 8,000 audiovisual items, dating back to the 1920s. This content is rich in history, shares the stories of Queenslanders and has significant cultural impact. The deterioration of these records would mean losing a part of the lived experiences of Queensland.
As a leading research library, it is our responsibility to help prevent this by continuing to capture the culture of our state. Since 2018, Reel Rescue has been preserving and digitising fragile films, videos and audio recordings held in State Library’s collections. Through our digitisation program, we can preserve these unique memories and stories of our Queensland yesteryear for all generations to come.
Please donate to Reel Rescue today to save our stories for all future Queenslanders: https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/reelrescue
