Old maps on the idiot box

Апублікавана карыстальнікам awesm 12 Верасень 2008 на мове English

Saw a reasonably interesting story on Collectors tonight on ABC about the historical maps collection at the State Library of Queensland, where many years ago I did a brief bit of work experience (had forgotten about it too!).

Worth sharing with the unwashed world, since it's viewable on the intertubes if you don't mind state-endorsed proprietary media formats. I tell a harsh lie: you can download an MP4 if you look hard enough. Bravo, Aunty, good show.

I am truly sorry and thanks for letting me know. I take back everything complimentary I said about the ABC. This is seriously lame. I believe the BBC engage in this sort of crudulence. I find it hard to buy the reason of "copyright", too. ABC News flash: the Web is global. You might try an Australian proxy if you can find one.

Quite often I'm embarrassed of my country. Sheesh.
