Loris Williams Scholarship awarded
The Indigenous Issues Special Interest Group of the Australian Society of Archivists (ASA) recently launched an initiative to provide two Loris Williams Scholarships of $3,000 each. These scholarships are provided annually to two Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students studying in the field of archives and records management who are looking at a career in the field. One of the inaugural Loris Williams Scholarships has been awarded to Monica Hardie to assist her with her Certificate III Records Management studies. This TAFE course is delivered by State Records of South Australia. Last Thursday a small gathering of ASA members, State Records personnel involved in the provision of the training, the Director of State Records and Monica's mother witnessed a presentation of a certificate commemorating the award of the Loris Williams Scholarship to Monica. To learn more about the Indigenous Issues Special Interest Group visit the Australian Society of Archivists website.

State Records is the principal repository for official records of government that are no longer required by agencies for current administrative purposes. Agencies are responsible for making public access determinations for their official records when transferring them to the custody of State Records. The guideline provides broad advice on when records should be open, when they should be closed and what period of restriction should be applied. Related Information:
