On the cover:
From James Cook's Endeavour journal to Edward Koiki Mabo's dairies and maps, from the original manuscript of Waltzing Matilda to Jørn Utzon's design for the Sydney Opera House, the National Library of Australia's new Treasures Gallery holds some of the nation's greatest stories. Drawn from the Library's vast collection of over 10 million items, many of the treasures are displayed for the first time. The Treasures Gallery is the realisation of years of research, planning and fundraising, and marks an exciting new chapter in the Library's history.
