On the other side of the trenches : The Ottoman Empire Display title poster
If you are passing through the corridor adjacent to Cultural Collections in the Auchmuty Library over the next two or three weeks, you will see a very interesting display curated by two students of the Library and Information Services Certificate III at Newcastle TAFE.
This display looks at the history of the Ottoman Empire, the forces of which were on the other side of the trenches at Gallipoli in 1915. It features 14 great posters created by the students, as well as some chosen by them from our collections. There are also many books on various aspects of the Ottoman Empire society and history, and on the Gallipoli and Palestine campaigns.
Looking back at the war
Finally, there are some artefacts from the First World War, some chosen from our archives and others provided by the curators themselves.
Many thanks to the two students for preparing this display – they are a credit to the TAFE!
