ARLIS/ANZ 2018 Conference Day 0.5


 Arrived in Canberra on the Wednesday afternoon after a straightforward trip. Bumped into Jim Whittington (Art Gallery od South Australia) at the hotel.We had a cup of tea together before heading down to the Nayional Portrait Gallery for the opening drinks. During drinks, I discovered that Stuart Kells, our keynote speaker  and I had been on the same flight from Melbourne when he recognised me from the flight and came over and introduced himself. I was also treated to a tour of the NPG's library by Libby Coates. It's smaller than my library wirh a smaller collection. Apologies that I neglected to take any pics.


Curator Chris Chapman with Jin Whittington (Art Gallery of South Australia) and Margaret Shaw (National Portrait Gallery).

After drinks, Jin and I joined fellow art librarians and archivists from New South Wales, Hong Kong, Christchurch and Auckland for dinner at Ovolo Nishi. Delicious food, served as shared plates, and plenty of it. The restaurant was very accommodating of our large group.
