STUFF! Online 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 which accompany each object.

In the exhibition Stuff!, we asked State Library staff – librarians, behind the scenes administrators or seasoned historians - to select items from our collection which resonated strongly with them. The result is a deeply personal and surprising scrapbook of WA history.
