The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library and ALIA Acquisitions Symposium
The Acquisition of Cultural Artefacts
Wednesday 10
October 2007
8.15am – 1.00pm
Bradley Forum, Hawke Building, North Terrace, University of South Australia,
City West Campus
Artefacts – those three dimensional things that are the backbone of
history. Without artefacts our collections would be small indeed and much of
the information that researchers, publishers, the media and the public find
most interesting about our collections would not exist.
But will artefacts continue to be important and will their collection,
housing and preservation continue to be regarded as a benefit? If so, how do
we know what we should be collecting? Is a digital equivalent the same as
the real thing?
