Our Christmas image this year is the work of George Cruikshank, at his most Rabelaisian, and is taken from The Comic Almanack for 1841. Here's to excess!

Seasons Greetings

About this blog

The aim of this blog is to provide a brief outline of the history of the Launceston Mechanics' Institute and a more detailed description of the surviving or 'legacy' collection of its library. It explores the significance of the collection in a local and Australian context, and offers a model for resolving issues of ownership, custodianship, storage and future access. This blog also outlines the activities of the Friends of the Launceston Mechanics' Institute Inc., a group formed to save this important collection.
