Printed & Bound

Printed & Bound exhibition

Date: Until 10 October 2026

Time: Open 9.00am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday and the second Saturday of each month (excluding public holidays)

Description: From beautifully crafted volumes with marbled edges and leather tooling to simple, durable books built to withstand decades of use, each record tells a unique story far beyond the information it holds.

These books aren’t just documents—they are windows into how Queensland grew, how decisions were made and how systems evolved over time.

Come and see these remarkable records up close by visiting our exhibition space. Marvel at their intricate designs of the records and consider what they reveal about the systems that kept Queensland running throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
