History, Home, Family, Love, Identity … and why we collect it

Behind every collection or pile of Stuff! is a collector moved by the secrets or human stories accompanying each object. In Stuff!, we asked State Library staff to select items from our collection that resonated with them. The result is a personal and surprising scrapbook of WA history.
Dates

A collaborative and visual experience that provides an opportunity for young people to share their personal stories, thoughts, artistry and passions by filling a small sketchbook. This year the exhibition was designed by artist Jake Pitcher.
