Description
This paper looks at the relationship between an archives and its research community. It is essentially a report on the work of the Noel Butlin Archives Centre (NBAC) at the Australian National University (ANU) since the "rescue package" announced by the ViceChancellor in November 1997. I am assuming that my audience is familiar with the events of 1997, when the closure of this longestablished significant resource for business and labour history was only averted after a strong public campaign in which the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History and many of its individual members were major players.
