Barr Smith Discovery Series
We invite you to a free public talk with Maureen Prichard

Christine Macgregor was a South Australian who amassed a collection of nearly 5,000 books, all of which (except one) she bequeathed to the Barr Smith Library. Among these books are a few hundred volumes which exemplify the spirit of William Morris's 'ideal book' and the history of the Private Press Movement; they also comprise a significant legacy to our state.

This talk will answer the questions:

• Who was Christine Macgregor?



• What, indeed, is the significance of her legacy?
