Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

 

The University of Sydney Library acknowledges that our buildings, collections, and practices exist on unceded Aboriginal lands. We recognise the diversity and knowledges of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and students across all the lands the University stands on, and respect the ongoing connection Aboriginal people have to these lands, their cultural practices, knowledge systems and histories. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, who have handed down custodianship to each generation for more than 60,000 years.

Virginia Woolf’s personal copy of The Voyage Out

Virginia Woolf's personal copy of the first edition of her debut novel, The Voyage Out. Inscribed by author, with handwritten revisions and pasted-in typewritten carbons.

There are two of these 1915 first edition personal working copies of The Voyage Out known, the other having typesetter's marks and a greater number of revisions, including to other chapters, but without the chapter 25 revisions. It is thought that the Fisher Library RBSC copy was kept by Woolf as a record of the main revisions, with the other being sent for use in publication.

Woolf began further revision, with chapter 25, working with a different pen and ink colour, but these went no further and were never used. The Library’s copy was donated with the Deane family bequest.
