New Acquisition for Pictures Collection

To fill a gap in our coverage of dance in Australia, we sent National Library staff photographer Greg Power to the 2002 National Capital DanceSport Championships, held at the Australian Institute of Sport arena. Greg’s brief was to capture images that would be useful for future research into the history of ballroom dancing and the history of fashion, and he captured every aspect of the movement and glitter down to the sheen on painted fingernails. The images have recently been added to the Pictures Catalogue <www.nla.gov.au/catalogue/pictures> and are an example of the increasing number of digital photographs in the Pictures Collection.
