HI Pauline
I remember an interesting visit the school archivists had to Parliament House some years and thought this may be of interest to the branch in general. We visited the parliamentary libary and the librarian talked to us about their ongoing project of digitising newspaper articles relating to parliament and parliamentarians so that they could be easily accessed. It was very intersting and we were looked after very well - even provided with afternoon tea and a room to conduct our meeting.
Perhaps our members would be interested in seeing if something like this could be organised for the branch as a whole.
Regards Margaret
Thank you for this suggestion.
As you point out, this would not be possible in May but will be added to our future event suggestion list.
Our allied RIM Professionals association organized a disaster preparedness workshop in Q1 '11.

Pauline
Hi WA members,
Great to see this site set up.
I am a ASA WA Branch Councillor. One of the reasons why the committee wanted to set up this site, is to canvass interest from WA members on what events they would like organised.
Please feel free to provide your feedback.
Regards,
Pauline
