In this episode of ‘My favourite item, unraveling Brisbane’s history piece by piece’ we visit the Supreme Court Library Queensland (SCLQ) to speak with Katee Dean, Heritage Collections and Research Officer. Katee’s favourite item isn’t made of horse hair or silk, but involves a grassroots community led campaign to save the Northern Supreme Court.   

Want to visit? 
SCLQ is located on level 12, Queen Elizabeth II Courts of Law, 514 George Street, Brisbane. It is open 8.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday (closed public holidays). Free exhibitions can also be viewed in the library’s exhibition space, the Sir Harry Gibbs Legal Heritage Centre, on the ground floor. Education staff can provide a free guided tour of the building and any current exhibitions and displays for groups of 5 people or more. Visit their website (sclqld.org.au) to find out more.  

With special thanks:
Katee Dean, Heritage Collections and Research Officer
Supreme Court Library Queensland (SCLQ)
