Exhibition: Under the Southern Cross

The Weston Room, Maughan Library & Information Services Centre in Chancery Lane is offering an exhibition, entitled Under the Southern Cross, until Saturday 13 December 2008.
It is open 09.30-17.00 Monday to Saturday.

The exhibition is based around items from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Historical Collection, which was transferred to King’s College London in 2007, and explores the experiences of the early European settlers in Australasia, and the effect they had both upon their new homelands and on the indigenous populations of both countries. The exhibition also focuses on the early explorers of the Australian interior and their motivations.
