On Tuesday 15 October 2013, the 2012 Mander Jones Awards were presented by Chair of the Awards Committee, Rowena Loo at the 2013 ASA National Conference, Canberra.
In 1996 the Society introduced the awards for publications in the field of archives and recordkeeping. This award honours Phyllis Mander Jones who, amongst other contributions to the profession, authored Manuscripts in the British Isles relating to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, in 1972. Jones was also the first Corresponding Secretary of the Archives Section of the Library Association of Australia (the section eventually handed over its records and activities to the Australian Society of Archivists, at the foundation of the Society in 1975) and she co-edited the first issue of the Society’s journal Archives and Manuscripts.
