The Victorian era (1837-1901) was an exciting time. Rapid and unregulated industrialisation brought with it tremendous social and political change and saw technological advancements in nearly every sphere. Book binding was no exception.

This fascinating exhibition explores the evolution of the book as it transitions away from the traditional methods of hand-binding towards the exquisitely gilt-blocked, machine-sewn and mass-produced publishers' cloth binding.

Curated by Lee Hayes, this stunning selection of books from both the Rare Books & Special Collections Library and the curator's own personal collection will be on display until 10th October 2015.

Each year, the University of Adelaide Counselling & Disability Service participates in the annual Mental Health Awareness Week program to promote positive activities to support wellbeing. For 2015 our focus is on the ways you can improve your own mental health - and how you can help improve the mental health of others. Helping others is a great way to boost their wellbeing, but it can also help you to feel more connected and engaged, which can increase your own wellbeing as well. When we help each other, everybody wins!
That's why this year we're asking the questions, What do you do for yourself? and What do you do for others? to give everyone a chance to share positive stories of connection on and around campus. You can learn more about what's happening in and around your campus by checking our Program of Events
