Melbourne Rare Book Week

Reference librarian Alissa Duke will explore some of the unique and noteworthy titles acquired during the early years of the Supreme Court Library, after it was established by Redmond Barry in 1853. These early acquisitions by the Library highlight and reflect the interests and needs of Victorians and the Victorian legal profession at that time, and encompass rare and specialised subject matter. Interestingly, a number of these early acquisitions continue to be published, and are purchased and used by the legal profession today.
