Abstract

For many years archivists in Australia had been talking about the need for a 'glossy brochure’ as a way of promoting the archives profession and the work they do. In September 2004, the Council of Australasian Archives and Records Authorities (CAARA) endorsed an Australian Society of Archivists proposal to develop such a brochure. The Australian Society of Archivists (ASA) envisaged that it would be of use to the archives sector as a whole, not just for ASA members. I was asked to chair a committee to oversee the production of the 'glossy brochure’ which was published two years later as a 24-page booklet.
