About Picture Queensland
Picture Queensland includes images digitised from the photographic collections of the State Library of Queensland's John Oxley Library and Queensland cultural institutions. Picture Queensland was launched initially in 2003 and continues to grow as digitised images are added to the collection.
The photographs in Picture Queensland depict various aspects of Queensland life including the settlement of early pioneers, the prominent people who have shaped our history, the built environment and the fashions we have worn through the years.
The collection benefits Queensland students, researchers and lifelong learners, publishers and authors, genealogists and enthusiasts of all ages who have an interest in, or need to research, any aspect of Queensland's history or development. A collection, previously restricted to "walk in" clients, is now available to anyone who can access the Internet.
Picture Queensland allows you to:
- search the database using multiple terms
- browse a number of themes for quick searching
- add comments and help us identify mystery photographs
- suggest material from our collection for digitisation
- order images for your own use
The Queensland Government has funded Picture Queensland through the Online Public Access in Libraries (OPAL) project.
