ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY<br/><br/>The papers of Bluse Waddell-Ward were donated to the Women’s Archive in 1984.<br/><br/>The Women’s Archive was started early in 1982 by a small group of students at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra. It was supported although not funded by ANU. The collection documents the history of the second wave feminism movement in community women’s groups in Canberra.<br/><br/>The Canberra Women’s Archives as it became known consists of the records of thirty-five community women’s organisations, which were established, in the ACT during the 1970s and 1980s. The personal papers of some of the women involved with these groups are included in the papers. In 1993 it became impossible for the Canberra Women’s Archive to continue its operations due to lack of funds. Mary Hutchison and Frances Sutherland donated the material to Jessie Street National Women’s Library (JSNWL). Conditions of the donation were that that the collection was to be kept together and not subsumed into a major collection because of its unique characteristics. When JSNWL took custody of the Canberra Women’s Archive the collection was deposited at the Petersham Town Hall repository of the Marrickville Town Hall for safe keeping until funding was arranged.<br/><br/>In 1995 an archival policy was implemented by JSNWL through a Special Research Project at the University of New South Wales coordinated by Dr. Peter Orlovich. Student archivist Martine Bright undertook to appraise the Canberra Women’s Archives. She compiled a report and submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the Graduate Diploma In Information Management Archives/Records.<br/><br/>In 1999 the Archives were brought to the library’s new home in Town Hall House, Sydney when the library received a state government grant through the Ministry for the Arts. This enabled the library to employ two part time archivists to work on the collection.<br/> |
