Australasian Architectural Records Seminar
29 October 2010
Architecture Museum, University of South Australia
Various Australasian institutions and bodies hold collections of architectural and design records. The Architecture Museum, University of South Australia (UniSA), organised a seminar for representatives of these collections at UniSA on 29 October 2010. A key aim of the event was to meet each other and to exchange information about our collections, policies, activities and other matters of common interest. An additional purpose was to discuss forming an informal network under the auspices of the International Confederation of Architectural Museums (ICAM).
