Delighted to have Dr Alice Garner @pollywolfie at our Visiting Fellows Dinner, speaking on 'Listening to the archives, reading with the ears: on researching for an audio documentary'. #AUResearch @ouranu @UniMelb

Please consider! I was able to dive into papers in the ANU archives with one of these fellowships. Travel, accommodation, office space in the Institute, access to ANU library resources…. And a warm welcome from AuSI colleagues.
📢📢 Apply for AuSI’s 2023–24 Visiting Fellowship Program — open to scholars of all academic disciplines! The Program brings EMCRs to @ouranu to conduct & share research that promotes the study of Aus or transnational & comparative research involving Aus.

In awe of the extraordinary work of local libraries, providing free books (etc) for EVERYONE, keeping us connected during the pandemic, helping people get online and build their digital skills, supporting children, students, elders… #ProtectPublicLibraries in Vic state budget!
Libraries Change Lives, and we need help to continue supporting our users. We’re asking the Victorian Government to protect the services more than 2 million Victorians count on. #ProtectPublicLibraries #LibrariesChangeLives 🧡 @DanielAndrewsMP @ShingvWorld
