Abstract

Anzacs Online is the Memorial’s ambitious 1915 Centenary project, which will make the Memorial’s most important collections available for all Australians online. The project will involve the digitisation of hundreds of collections to be added to the website, creating a comprehensive digital archive on the ANZACS and their deeds, and on the wider Australian experience of war. This represents a new era of digitisation for the Memorial; we will be embarking on digitising collections that involve different processes and web innovation to make them available online.

Abstract

In 2003, the Australian War Memorial commenced a project to digitise the notebooks and diaries of C.E.W. Bean for preservation and with the intent to make the images publicly available via the website. The digitisation of the records was completed in 2004, but the project ground to a halt when the copyright of this material was examined more closely and the records were found be a complex mixture of copyright rather than Commonwealth copyright. For the Memorial, this project represents our first venture into publishing a large complex collection of private records online and also our pilot for publishing orphan works using s200AB of the Copyright Act.
