FREE TALK AT 11 AM ON 19 MAY 2019, CAMBERWELL LIBRARY MEETING ROOMS, hear and see part of a wonderful collection about food donated to the State Library of Victoria.
Our speaker is Richard Overell who will bring a light but informed touch to a discussion about cookery booklets as a record of social history. The presentation has a beautiful selection of sometimes amusing, often informative ways in which the home, in particular the kitchen was portrayed in these historic records. Dr Woods who built up a vast collection, and the cookery booklets are just a small part will speak to us too. 
Richard was the Rare Books Librarian at Monash University Library from 1988 to 2014. Among the many areas of that collection he built-up were Ephemera and Cookery.
