Please join the Whitlam Institute for the opening of Marriage: Love and law, a touring exhibition of NSW State Archives & Records.

Marriage: Love and Law explores the laws, beliefs and social attitudes that have shaped and reshaped marriage in Australia over three centuries. Stories of marriage are told through case studies of people, places and events—including the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer. Letters, Acts of Parliament, convict records, court documents, photographs, films, plans and reports sourced from the State Archives Collection will be on display, many for the first time.

The opening of the exhibition will feature distinguished speakers, including former High Court Justice, the Honourable Michael Kirby AC CMG; former Chief Judge of the Family Court of Australia, Elizabeth Evatt AC and NSW State Archives Senior Curator, Dr Penelope Stannard.

Refreshments will be served. This is a free event but registration is essential.
