More than $800,000 has been allocated in the federal Budget to the National Library of Australia, the National Film and Sound Archive and the National Archives of Australia to help collect and preserve huge volumes of digital information.
This will also assist in progressing towards the digitisation of our important cultural and historical collections.
The $805,000 will help three of the nation’s leading collecting institutions plan how they can look at digitising their vast collections and ensure that they will be available for use and enjoyment by many generations to come.
