A case of mistaken identity: governance, guardianship and the ScreenSound saga.

Abstract

Ray Edmondson is Director of Archive Associates, a consultancy company (www.archival.com.au). He began his career in audiovisual archiving by joining the Film Section of the National Library of Australia in 1968, ultimately becoming the Section’s Director. Described as the ‘moving spirit’ behind the creation of the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) in 1984, he served as its Deputy Director until early 2001, and is now its honorary Curator Emeritus. In 1987 he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for his professional work. Long active in the international forums of the audiovisual archiving field, Ray currently holds office in two of its federations (SEAPAVAA and AMIA), and teaches and consults in several countries. He writes and speaks widely, is the author of ‘A Philosophy of Audiovisual Archiving’ (UNESCO, 1998) and has recently completed the revised general guidelines for UNESCO’s Memory of the World program.
