Meet Nathaniel Chew, an NLB scholar and a senior librarian at NLB. He helped to bring to life the SG60 Heart&Soul Experience, an event that gave visitors a glimpse of Singapore’s vision for tomorrow through an immersive, multi-sensory journey across our past, present and future. Held in celebration of SG60, the showcase invited participants to reflect on Singapore’s journey, their place in it, and what lies ahead.
As a librarian, his role involved being a heritage storyteller and inspiring people to discover Singapore’s documentary heritage and the diverse stories within our collections. This included curating photos, videos, oral history recordings, and historical letters from the National Library and National Archives for Heart&Soul. These stories from Singapore’s past illustrate the events that brought us together, and the transformation of our landscape over time.
