4 Australian Society of ArchivISTS • 2013 CONFERENCE WELCOME

message FROM KYLIE PERCIVAL President, Australian Society of Archivists

Welcome to Canberra and to Archives – The Future! This conference of the Australian Society of Archivists is the centrepiece of an annual program of activity designed to build the archives profession in Australia and benefit members of the ASA. Archivists play an essential role in serving wider community interests through the preservation of and promotion of access to our national heritage. In the words of Arthur G. Doughty writing in 1924, ‘Of all our national assets, archives are the most precious; they are the gift of one generation to another and the extent of our care of them marks the extent of our civilisation’. These words continue to resonate nearly 90 years later, albeit in a world where archival practice is transformed and challenged by the ‘data deluge’. What remains unchanged is the worthy nature of our professional endeavour. The preservation and accessibility of archival records is a key attribute of a civil society. Our role as archivists and recordkeepers in caring for these national assets, whether in government, business, educational institutions, community or religious organisations, is essential for the preservation of our national memory. This conference program is designed to provoke and challenge, and to encourage reflection on the future of the archival profession and its role in society. I commend it to you as you engage with your colleagues during this important event. I congratulate the Conference Committee on delivering such a wonderful conference under the able leadership of Michael Piggott. Thank you to all Committee members. I wish you a terrific time here in Canberra and we look forward to your contributions to our professional interactions over the next few days.

message FROM MICHAEL PIGGOTT Conference Convenor

On behalf of the conference organising committee, I want to endorse President Kylie Percival’s welcome to delegates. As Kylie has indicated, the timing of the conference and its theme could not be more appropriate. One would have to be wilfully blind not to see that everything about archives and archivists is changing; indeed, if only because of the multiple settings in which they operate, has to change. Canberra is inextricably tied to the ASA. The Society was formed here at the initiative of passionate people seized with the enthusiasm of true believers led by Australian National University archivist Michael Saclier, our first President (1975–77). The ASA had its first conference here, and is registered under Australian Capital Territory legislation. Fittingly, Canberra is the base of most of our national cultural institutions, including the National Archives of Australia, the National Library of Australia, the National Film and Sound Archive, the , and the Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies. It is also the home of one of the largest university-based collecting archives, the Noel Butlin Archives Centre within the ANU Archives, and naturally has its own local archives and records authority, the Territory Records Office. The organising committee hopes delegates will make time to visit these and other institutions. If you have time, do consider also some of Canberra’s lesser known collections, displays and sites, many within five minutes walk from the conference venue at Old Parliament House – such as Magna Carta Place; an actual 1297 copy of the Magna Carta displayed at the Parliament House; the National Gallery’s Aboriginal Memorial (a permanent installation of 200 hollow log coffins commemorating all indigenous people who since 1788 have lost their lives defending their land); and Reconciliation Place. So welcome! Discuss, inquire, engage, challenge, network, renew… and help reinvent our future.

2013 CONFERENCE • Australian Society of ArchivISTS 5 GENERAL INFORMATION

About Canberra

Located on the land of the Ngunnawal people, Canberra is thought to derive its name from the Aboriginal word Kamberra meaning ‘meeting place’. The site of Canberra was selected for the location of the nation’s capital in 1908. It is a planned city and following an international design competition, the plans of Chicago architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin were selected. This year Canberra is celebrating 100 years since the Foundation Stone was laid by Lady Denman, the wife of the then Governor-General Lord Denman on 12 March 1913, at a ceremonial event at Capital Hill. Many exciting events have been planned to mark this occasion – see the Centenary of Canberra’s website at www.canberra100.com.au Today over 350,000 people live in Canberra and the city is the home of many national institutions. Beyond the city the region offers much to explore including wineries and bushwalking. A few hours from Canberra are the beaches of the south coast Preliminary plan of Canberra by Walter Burley Griffin, 1914 and the snowfields of the Snowy Mountains.
