Historians Professor Michelle Arrow and Professor Frank Bongiorno speak about the disturbing new history wars, which have seen several of Australia's national cultural institutions suffer severe cumulative federal funding cuts over decades with damaging effects. For example, the National Library of Australia has taken an unprecedented step and closed access to its manuscript collections for seven months to repair a leaking roof. This will have enormous effects on the work of academics, students, historians, and everyday Australians who use this unique collection. Other institutions like the National Gallery of Australia, the National Archives of Australia, and the National Sound and Film Archives are under great financial and operational strain. Michelle and Frank also talk about the National Cultural Policy to be developed and what needs to change to protect our nation's heritage and cultural institutions. Frank and Michelle also lead the Australian Historical Association. Broadcast on 27 September 2022.

Historian Professor Michelle Arrow talks about the many archival treasures on the verge of destruction if they cannot be digitised by 2025. This crisis is in large part due to chronic federal funding cuts to the budget of the National Archives of Australia. The race is on to digitise many audio-visual records and items that are disintegrating and reaching their preservation limit. Broadcast 4 May 2021.

Dr Michelle Arrow, Associate Professor Department of Modern History, Politics and International Relations Macquarie University, joins Michael with a dire warning that Australian treasures are on the brink of destruction.   When the DVD format was introduced, the VCR quickly became obsolete which made all of those VHS tapes, which were lovingly compiled, become unplayable virtually overnight.   ‘This is the dilemma that faces the National Archives of Australia. It is stuck, metaphorically, in the VHS era, and without an urgent injection of funds, it will be trapped there’, writes Dr Arrow.   ‘It has a vast collection of historical records: not just documents and files, but tape recordings, films, and television programs. And much of it is on the brink of destruction.’   ‘If rapid action is not taken to convert all the archives’ audio visual material to secure, digital formats, in 2025, it will topple off what archivists call the “digital cliff”. A combination of deterioration and outmoded technology will conspire to destroy it.’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Associate Professor Michelle Arrow The 1970s were a time of profound social and political transformation when women’s and gay liberation movements sought to reshape the public meaning of private experience. Through three case studies (early campaigns for homosexual rights, the emergence of domestic violence as a key issue for women’s liberationists and the 1975 Royal Commission on Human Relationships), Michelle Arrow will seek to demonstrate the ways that ‘the personal is political’ reshaped Australian political culture in the 1970s. Michelle Arrow is Associate Professor of History at Macquarie University. Her most recent book is Friday on Our Minds: Popular Culture in Australia since 1945. Associate Professor Arrow’s Fellowship is supported by Library Patrons and Supporters.
