To celebrate the iconic Hackett Hall's 100th birthday on August 18, 2013, we've compiled a collection of images from the WA Museum and State Library archives showcasing the Hall's transition from the State Library's reading room between 1913 and 1984, to the home of the WA Land and People exhibition and beautiful venue and temporary exhibition space it is today.
