The 7th Book, Paper and Photographic Materials Symposium will be held in Brisbane at the State Library of Queensland from the 29th-31st August 2012.

Building on the successful format of the previous conferences, we shall explore the subject from a variety of viewpoints, all contributing to greater understanding.
