Afterword: ten pound poms

Abstract:
The Afterword to the special issue emphasises portability, traffic, and the movement intrinsic to Emmerson's collection. By comparing the books to other, human migrants, those 'ten pound poms' who travelled from the UK to Australia contemporaneously with Emmerson's collecting, themes of belonging, migration and translocation are explored. Charles I's travelling library, the one object that Emmerson separated from his collection and donated to a UK institution, comes to symbolise these bibliographic energies.
