Summary
This article considers the question of the public library and its books as a 'lieu de mémoire' by examining a particular Australian library (the Tasmanian Public Library in Hobart) and the fate of a particular text ("The Hermit in Van Diemen's Land" by Henry Savery). It has resulted from a Research Fellowship awarded by the State Library of Tasmania in 2005.
