At the University of Sydney Archive there is one reference archivest but two people job share. Archives and record managment services (website) Archives has been in the Fisher Library building since 1969. Fist archives for a University in Australia started in 1950. Sydney was the first University in Australian.

Comply with the State records act in what they have to Archive.

Right to public archives after 30 years (student and staff records)

Hold many different sort of records but mainly student enrolment and staff employment records.

Not a big archive collection.

ANU has a bigger corporate archive Melbourne also has a bigger archive.

Open to staff, students and researchers

Open for records to have access but they do not do research

Only do a little research for older lecturers. Have records going back to 1800 Collect all minutes from meetings at University Inherit archives from amagamated colleges. Archivists measure in shelf meters (5 boxes to a shelf)

In the process of going online but need more money.

Have 500 photos scanned, and online.

Meta data for 5000 photos avalible online (need more money)

Can request a digital copy of photos. Most photos are out of copyright or the University has copyright. Planning for a world war 1 online project (lots of staff and students signed up for the war)

MOney is a problem Archives are not standard
