#HereWeAre2022 with Keir Winesmith (dr/prof) and Maggie Walter And others, Keir’s qu: use. David Fricker explains that for archives we can’t foresee use, kept untouched, unseen for a long time, can be really hard to explain value. A qu that gets asked is when is the last time something was used

#HereWeAre2022 @RDNS_TAI reminds us again that the closed period on records under archives legislation shuts down accountability gives the eg of Rex Patrick’s recent FOI. David Fricker chimes in that FOI legis is ok but there is procrastination etc+seniors don’t like openness

#HereWeAre2022 Keir Winesmith (dr/prof) asks how to balance archiving and privacy, David Fricker: we have opportunities to remember people but some records are wrong, others are painful, archivists need to be responsible custodians that enrich. The more you forget the dumber you become

#HereWeAre2022 Julia many asks abt the balance of access +privacy: Prof Maggie Walter: there’s a collective right to privacy

‘We don’t know and it’s hardly relevant now’ - archives-adjacent scholar Amelia Birch looks at Australians involved in the dynamic lesbian creative communities of the Left Bank in Paris - art history skirts around lesbian subjects #HereWeAre2022 lightning talks @ausarchivists

#HerWeAre2022 a qu about capability in the public service. @RDNS_TAI the poor culture around FOI comes from the top.

Qu about right to be forgotten. Prof Maggie Walter: an important right but not the right to delete yourself if you’ve had an impact on others #HereWeAre2022
