The Royal Society of Tasmania Lecture Series: March

The Royal Society of Tasmania presents the second instalment of its 2020 Lecture Series:

Map Spam: (yet more of) Launceston Revealed presented by Andrew Parsons, Esq.

Andrew's talk will be image-rich and divided into four themes:

1. Books and the film that inspired the creation of Launceston Revealed

2. A review of the book's contents

3. The images that didn't make the cut and those that might be included in a possible future edition

4. A call to arms: what attendees can do to help preserve Launceston's spatial history.  

Andrew has worked at the AMC and UTAS libraries, Launceston and Hobart, and managed UTAS Library’s special and rare collections in Hobart. As part of this role he served as Hon. Librarian to the Royal Society of Tasmania. In 2013 he commenced as Library Coordinator with QVMAG, during which time the Library's rare book collections have undergone significant development.
