This Wednesday 18 April we have asked Ian Burnet, author of the recently published book, Spice Islands <http://www.spiceislandsbook.com/the_book>, to give a presentation to the group. We will bring out a few related maps out from the State Library's collections. The meeting will commence at 6.00 pm in the Coles Room, level 3, Macquarie Building. As usual light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP by Tuesday 17 April. As the venue is in a staff only area one of us will be in the foyer ready to escort you upstairs! And for your diaries....On Thursday 30 August, Sarah Tyacke, former Keeper of Maps at the British Library will be in Sydney. The Library will be hosting a talk through our formal Events program. Sarah will be talking about Sir Robert Dudley and the first printed sea atlas,Arcano del Mare, drawn and published by Robert Dudley in 1648. Her presentation will concentrate on the East Indies and contemporary knowledge of Australia. I'll let you know when the bookings are open.
