Research Reveals

Research Reveals is an annual event at State Library, showcasing the outcomes of the previous year's Queensland Memory Awards fellows. These fellows spend a year exploring State Library's collections, unearthing new historical insights about the people, places, and events that have shaped our State. Gain a unique insight into Queensland's history and the collections of the John Oxley Library in this series of fascinating talks.
