We’re buzzing over this! 🐝
These lovely beekeeping notebooks belonged to 20-year-old Donald Ruming from Brodies Plains in NSW. They were submitted for the Junior Farmer’s State Championship for Beekeeping competition in 1950.
Donald kept a meticulous record of his two hives over the course of the beekeeping season, complete with detailed notes, photographs and diagrams. Along with the notebook, Donald also kept a diary with dried and pressed plant specimens that were collected near his beehives.
Donald was awarded first place for his beekeeping project, and as the winner he came down to Sydney for the @sydneyroyal_eastershow where he met his future wife, Irene.
If not for the bees, they may never have met.
Happy #WorldBeeDay! 💛

Intimate. Personal. Too much for their time.
These letters were never meant to be kept.
Love letters from Oscar Wilde’s world were hidden for decades inside the State Library of NSW.
But they survived.
What was once treated as obscenity is now part of cultural history.
In History Or Hoarding?, Annabel Crabb explores how these letters moved from hidden to historic.

What happens when two librarians meet in a secret library? They talk rare books, of course!
Maggie from @statelibrarynsw went to visit Miguel the librarian of the Daniel Solander Library at @botanicsydney.
The Daniel Solander Library was established in 1852 and is Australia’s oldest botanical research library. Open to the public by appointment.
It’s home to many rare botanical volumes, including Celia Rosser’s three-part series of illustrated folios, The Banksias.
Keen for more? You can find the full video on Youtube.

The story of the great coin swindle...
In 1979 coin collector David Gee was sentenced to prison for allegedly swapping rare coins from the Library’s collection with forgeries!
The police alleged that Gee had stolen the genuine coins by substituting counterfeit coins over several visits to view the Dixson numismatic collection.
The crime was uncovered after a coin expert noticed fakes on display at the Library in 1973.
The 23 coins and dies allegedly stolen by Gee were discovered in 1982 by a caretaker cleaning out a storeroom at an apartment block where Gee had lived.
They were returned to the Library in December 1982 under armed escort.
