		<description><![CDATA[When asked, I usually tell people I come to work to do craft every day. It&#8217;s true; I wear a glue smeared apron, cut paper with scalpel knives and play with glue. The week really starts on a Wednesday; that&#8217;s the day of the  trolley run around the various collection points in the library. Nellie, our new binder [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever had the spine of a book fall off into your hands? Would your first brilliant thought be: “I’d better glue this back on before it gets lost.”? The idea of keeping the spine intact and with the book is great; it’s the glueing part that is the problem. You see, in the majority of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was privileged to photograph the Diary of John Robinson, kept by Robinson while on board the convict ship William Sardinia on a Journey from Dublin to Sydney, nla.ms-ms1845, a record of an amazing journey, recounting both it&#8217;s author&#8217;s experiences, and those of the other passengers aboard the William Sardinia, as it sailed towards [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know that digitised newspapers on Trove is really popular with many people. They read historic newspapers with a lot of interest, many trying hard to find out if their forebears made it to the newsprint. The more eager of them even spend hours and hours correcting the electronically generated text. At the Library we [...]]]></description>

The album was in great condition, with little wear to the pages or the photographic prints, and minimal discolouring or foxing. The album had been presented to the [...]]]></description>

The Library’s East Timor ephemera collection is already quite extensive, and includes material from all presidential and parliamentary elections held [...]]]></description>

Pacific collecting has always been a challenge for the Library, with short print runs and often no ground staff to undertake collection development activities.  This year Vera Dunn and Anya Dettman from the Library’s Overseas Collection Development Unit sought [...]]]></description>

One of these materials is cellulose nitrate, a material that was used for motion picture films and still photography until the 1950’s. As the cellulose nitrate degrades [...]]]></description>
