Join us in a recap of the future of multicultural collection, delivered by Alice Chik and Joey Chung on 25 October 2024.

Fifty years on, how should we (re)imagine multiculturalism in Australian public libraries? Public libraries have been stocking multicultural and multilingual items, but library collections and services and how library users access them have greatly changed in the last fifty years.

In this webinar, using the case study of a Trove list project and a collaboration with NSW State Library, Joey Chung and Alice Chik will present and discuss the ways multicultural items can be used to (re)imagine Australian public libraries as multicultural and multilingual spaces.
