Top 150

Top 150 was commisioned in 2009 to identify 150 of Queensland's most significant historical documents. Eminent historian Dr Murray Johnson selected and ranked 150 documents from Queensland's historical collection, in an exhibition held in 2009 to celebrate Queensland's 150th anniversary. The documents chosen represented Queensland's most significant records - the documents which took Queensland from a colony to a State, gave women the vote and extended the border.
