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.
