'This special issue of The Australasian Journal of Popular Culture focuses on popular culture across galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) with a focus on Australia. Particular emphasis has been given to the academically rigorous exposure of collections within critical cultural institutions. Focusing on unique collections and their contexts the scholarship undertaken for this issue highlights investigations, while simultaneously inviting additional research, into these unique resources and contexts. The articles presented here exploit collections held in cultural institutions resulting in an issue that crosses over into multiple disciplines of relevance to popular culture researchers. Showcasing different voices and styles, this collection of articles reveals the diverse range of scholarly approaches and perspectives in this field of inquiry.'
