Publisher Description
Explores the administration of archives in New South Wales from 1788 to 1960, showing how little attention was paid to non-current public records until the opening of the Mitchell Library in 1910. Political inertia and conflicting ideas on how archives should be managed are examined as well as the influence of historians and the role of James Bonwick, Frank Murcott Bladen and Historical records of New South Wales. Traces the tensions in the library profession over the establishment of a separate public record office and the underlying unwillingness to support a body which was not part of the Public Library of NSW, right up to the passing of the NSW Archives Act in 1960. **********
