Rare Book Week: This Is Not A Coffee Table Book

Join us for a curatorial viewing and discussion on photobooks held in the State Library Rare Books Collection for Rare Book Week.

Explore the evolution of the contemporary photobook at State Library Victoria during Rare Book Week.

From its early beginnings in the 19th century through to the present day, photobooks can shed a unique light on how photographers, book designers and publishers collaborate to build a visual narrative.

See how these narratives are brought to life by some of the photobooks held within our Rare Books Collection in this exclusive viewing.
