This celebration acknowledges the significant contribution that Des has made at the Library, both in shaping the State Collection and championing the creative and intellectual value of rare books for the whole community.This includes pioneering the institutional collecting of contemporary artists? books, the addition of formed collections such as the Graham and Anita Anderson Collection, the John Emmerson Collection, the Wallace Kirsop Collection, and the Wayzgoose Press archive, and co-curating 16 iterations of the World of the Book exhibition that has welcomed millions of visitors to the Library?s rare book collection over the years.Des? legacy at the Library is a testament to his passion, knowledge, integrity, curiosity, and commitment to public service.' - Sarah Slade, Acting Chief Executive Officer, State Library of Victoria, in an email announcing the retirement of Des and a function held by the Library to recognise his contribution.
