Abstract

The announcement on 13 November 2009 by the National Archives of Australia (NAA) that it intended to close its offices in Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart provoked an outcry. An informal alliance emerged to protest against the foreshadowed withdrawal of services provided by the NAA for decades. Australians from diverse communities wanted the NAA to retain its presence across the country. They did not accept that the provision of digital access is a universal solution. Looking beyond this particular case, this paper explores the relationship between citizens and government archives and community expectations that archives and records will continue to provide 'traditional' services to agencies and the public
