History West Annual Lecture 2023
“From Perth to Canberra and back again: 3000 kilometres but only nanoseconds apart“
In this lecture, Dr Ayres Director-General of the National Library of Australia will ponder the ways in which Australia’s ‘tyranny of distance’ has nurtured a level of national collaboration around cultural collections which is extremely rare in the broader international environment.
Beginning with Western Australian heritage materials held by the National Library of Australia and the ways in which those collections can be used by Western Australians, Dr Ayres will elaborate on the professional cultures and systems that underpin Australia’s rich and connected cultural collections.
