Description
I have been employed at State Records New South Wales, based at the Sydney Records Centre, The Rocks, for six years. I began work as a cadet Aboriginal Archivist in early 1999 and as part of the cadetship undertook external studies to obtain a Postgraduate Diploma in Science (Archives and Records), Edith Cowan University, Perth. At the time, there were Aboriginal people working in archives and libraries but there were not many who had completed the relevant professional qualifications. The cadetship was created by New South Wales State Records in December 1998 in collaboration with the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), the then Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DEETYA) and the Australian Society of Archivists (ASA), and aimed to increase the number of Indigenous people working in the library/ archives sector. The position was created largely as a response to the release of the Bringing Them Home Report (1) as awareness developed in the archival profession of the need for more Indigenous people to enter it.
