Summary

Because the Melocco Brothers marble re-creation of the 1644 Tasman Map of Australasia faces the entrance doors of the Library and a bird's-eye view can only be taken from the gallery on the opposite side of the foyer, this photograph is upside down and is the reason for this "looking at the ceiling effect". The map shows only the parts of Australasia and New Guinea known and mapped by the Dutch, and the map is decorated with Dutch ships..Format : Digital photograph..For information on the original map of 1644, held in the Mitchell Library, see: library.sl.nsw.gov.au/search~S2?/Xtasman%20map&search...

The State Library of New South Wales' major subject strengths are Australian history, culture and literature, including Aboriginal studies, Antarctic exploration, family history and genealogy, business and management, social sciences, applied science, biography, health and law. The State Library is home to one of Australia’s most significant historical and heritage collections. As well as nearly 11 kilometres of manuscripts – from nine 1788 First Fleet journals through to the archives of contemporary organisations and writers – the Library holds more than one million photographs. From the earliest surviving photograph taken in Australia – in January 1845 – through to digital photographs taken last month, the Library’s unrivalled photographic collections document with powerful clarity the way Australians have lived their lives over two centuries. You can find out more about the State Library's photographic collections on our website: www.sl.nsw.gov.au/about/collections/photographs.html More broadly the Library’s collecting reach spans a multitude of platforms: the Library’s mission is to collect, preserve and make accessible the documentary heritage of New South Wales. It holds over 5 million items including books, oil paintings, watercolours, architectural plans, engravings & lithographs, magazines and periodicals, posters, ephemera, sheet music, talking books, maps, CD-ROMs, newspapers, microfilm and microfiche, films and videos, computer software, kits, sound recordings, photographs, coins, postage stamps and other objects.
