Abstract: Although it differs from other Australian and New Zealand libraries’ rare books collections in several ways, the Emmerson Collection is only the most recent private collection of early modern English books to find a home in a public library in a British settler colony in the South Pacific. In this article, we consider the similarities and differences between the Emmerson Collection and these other named collections of early modern English books in New Zealand and Australia, exploring both the Emmerson’s particular affordances and the ways in which all these collections invite scholarly reflection on the relationship between their origins, their content, and their location on colonised land.
