This book of colonial art's been sitting in storage, but that's about to change

The Royal Society of Tasmania is finally making Owen Stanley's rare maritime artworks accessible to the public after decades of storage. The album, acquired in 1900, has been too delicate for display, but now it's being transformed into a digital flip book. This move not only preserves the artwork but also democratizes access, allowing anyone with internet access to appreciate these historical pieces. It's a significant step in ensuring that such cultural treasures are not just preserved but also celebrated and shared widely.
