Thai treasure trove: the Thai collection
Thai Treasure Trove: the Thai Collection at the National Library of Australia by Rosemary Borthwick. Originally published in
National Library of Australia News, 6 (9), June 1996, pp 14-16.
It is now almost 40 years since the establishment of a bilateral exchange agreement at governmental level between Thailand and Australia, to be implemented through the respective National Libraries of the two countries, was successfully concluded with an exchange of notes in December 1956. These formal arrangements received a further impetus in the same year from discussions begun in Japan between the National Librarian of Australia, Sir Harold White, and the Chief Librarian of the National Library of Thailand, Nai Tri Amatykul.
