Libraries hold many fascinating things including films.......

The 1919 silent film "The Sentimental Bloke" is held by the State Library of NSW.

This fascinating image from the film is available courtesy of Australianscreen, where you can also find out more about the film (inspired by the poem of the same name by C. J. Dennis) and also watch short clips of this early Australian feature film.

The notion of Equity of Access to collections underpins the efforts of many libraries and archives in embracing new web technologies.
