ABOUT THE EVENT
Keepsake: [noun] a small item kept in memory of the person who gave it or originally owned it.
What heirlooms have been handed down in your family? What stories do they hold?
The Keepsake exhibition examines why mementos and everyday objects often hold the key to family history and ultimately shape who and how we identify ourselves. The exhibition showcases cherished family moments from the State Library’s collection and explores why they are kept and treasured.
An education trail for children will support this exhibition.
