Abstract

In 2010/11 the Australian Society of Archivists transferred the publishing of their flagship journal Archives and Manuscripts to Taylor and Francis, and in 2022 will move to self publishing the journal gold OA. This sharing session will introduce the journal and it’s history, the society and its governance structure, and discuss a number of the achievements and challenges that the society has and is still facing in the move. The session will allow lots of time for discussion and sharing of knowledge and experience transferable to the GLAM sector.
