Photography, History and the National Library’s Collection

The National Library of Australia has one of the largest and most important photography collections in the country.

The photographs span almost 150 years and deal with a huge variety of subjects, including the settlement and expansion of towns, world wars, famous faces, historic occasions, private memories and national life.

In this landmark publication by Helen Ennis, one of Australia’s leading photography writers and curators, the author explores the rich connections between photography and history, offering new ways of thinking about the role of the medium in Australian life.
