Thank you for your support Anna #unistrkes
I’ve been @UniMelb student for 6 yrs. The place has always felt soulless and corporate to me. This year I’ve felt the beating heart of the uni for the first time, in the passion of incredible teachers on strike. #unimelbstrikes Here’s the law faculty doing radical teach-ins!

Yarra Falls Spinning and Co was a local woollen and textile manufacturer based in Abbotsford, closing its doors in the 1990s-2000s. Recently we acquired their papers to our #Archives. Amongst them, our archivists discovered this fascinating 'Colour Room Records Bible'. A🧶🧵

Super inspired by @kirstythorpe in this morning's keynote for #HereWeAre2022. Always reminded not to get complacent or shy away when things might get difficult within white archival/institutional paradigms. A perfect start to the conference.

Statement on @nlagovau Manuscripts Closure The AHA deeply regrets that the NLA has had to close access to almost all manuscript materials for about 7 months. We call on the present govt to inject emergency funding into our national cultural institutions. @clareawright @Tony_Burke

“Librarians and archivists are the unsung heroes of the journalistic process. They are not visible on people’s screens, not heard on the radio, but their work is foundational to the creation of the programs that we love, from investigative journalism to period dramas.” @abcnews
