Guest blogger: John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland

M 1510 Dorothy Leslie Diary 1901-1905. John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland. Dorothy Leslie was a 15-year-old living in South Brisbane, who illustrated her diary with caricatures.

My first post as an honorary Fellow of the Library is up and ready to read! A departure from the usual business of the Archive Detective, but I’m sure you’ll find it to be an interesting introduction to the very special collections I’ll be working on over the coming months.

Head to the John Oxley Library blog to read more about their fascinating collection of diaries written by colonial women of Queensland.
