Welcome to the Australian Society of Archivists
Archivists ensure that records which have value as authentic evidence of administrative, corporate, cultural and intellectual activity are made, kept and used. The work of archivists is vital for ensuring organisational efficiency and accountability and for supporting understandings of Australian life through the management and retention of its personal, corporate and social memory.
The ASA has created ArchivesLive! to promote and facilitate communication across the sector. ArchivesLive! is free to join. Receive updates & news; gain information and participate in lively discussions on ArchivesLive!.
