Here we are, but who is with us? Allies, opponents and rivals to archives and records legislation

>

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the ACT’s Territory Records Act. Developed in the era of AS–4390, distributed custody and the Bringing Them Home report, the Act is very much of its time, but nevertheless continues to stand up well. So, who were the advocates for this new legislation in this new century? Who had to be convinced? And in the increasingly crowded field of records, archives, information, data and digital management, who are the rivals for influence in this space?
