AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Appended to the obituary of Dr Sigrid McCausland published in this issue is an impressive bibliography of her publications. Among these is a 2012 review article published in this journal surveying its content since the inception of Archives and Manuscripts (A&M) in 1955.11. S. McCausland, ‘Archives and Manuscripts: A Window into Australian Archival Writing, 1955–2011’, Archives and Manuscripts, vol. 40, no. 3, 2012, pp. 122–35,  This provided an informative and insightful context for receiving feedback from readers about A&M in the recent survey of members and readers. I would like to thank all 226 individuals who took the time to complete the survey and provide this valuable feedback. The A&M sub-committee of the Australian Society of Archivists (ASA) is developing a position paper about the future of the journal for members’ consideration informed in part by the results of the recent survey. Members will be consulted once again before any decision is reached. For now, I can report on what some members would like to read in the journal.' (Editorial)

The Dorothy Howard Collection: Revealing the Structures of Folklore Archives in Museums, Mike Jones , Kate Darian-Smith , Deborah Tout-Smith , Gavan McCarthy , single work essay

'In 2015–16 researchers from the University of Melbourne and Museums Victoria undertook a collaborative project which sought to visualise archival data from the museum as a means to investigate the structure and context of the Dorothy Howard Collection. This article introduces Dorothy Howard’s work, which is part of the internationally significant Australian Children’s Folklore Collection, and looks at the project’s processes and outcomes, including the initial visualisations produced. In doing so, the authors highlight the data-intensive nature of such work, suggest the potential of visualisations to reveal collection structures, and outline possibilities for future projects and collaborations.'
