“Through the written word we can connect with some of those who went before us”
[Cowley & Williamson 2007, p. 3]
Interestingly, when exploring the National Gallery of Victoria, I came across two Ancient Iraq items, a clay tablet and clay brick which I photographed and scanned, including their descriptions. It is amazing to view something that is so old, that tells a story from the past gone by and subsequently, becomes believable and is now today’s library materials. Following my visit, I searched the National Gallery of Victoria’s website and located these items. Luckily I had taken photographs of the items as these two items on the gallery’s site are not available to view.
