I looked at both blogs, but decided to choose an article from the John Oxley Library. The John Oxley library is part of the Queensland state library, it's main focus is maintaining a large heritage collection. The collection contains historic items relating to Queensland's history. The items include maps, photographs, manuscripts, artworks and published materials.
The blog post I chose was from the 21st of May, titled :
NEW ACCESSIONS: ANNIE LETITIA ELMES SHIPBOARD DIARY. This post showcases one of the collections newest item, a diary from a female passenger who migrated to Australia on the ship the 'Limerick'. This post interested me because of the photographs of the diary and the story behind the 8 week long journey from Europe to Australia.
