Managing the magic and mysteries in our collections
Hosted by the State Library of NSW 3-4 December 2026.

What has changed in the past couple of decades? What lies ahead?
We will take a fresh look at performing arts history and heritage – the changing nature of the industry, discovery platform challenges and opportunities, updates on collections and services, making history and interpreting the performing arts, research data and other topics.
This year the State Library marks its 200th Anniversary with a year-long program of exhibitions and events. The conference will take a behind-the-scenes tour at the State Library to look at ways it is rising to the challenges.
