The topic of documenting Australian Society has been something of an occasional perennial on ASA Conference programs since the 1990s. Indeed, Archives and Manuscripts published a theme issue on the topic in 2001. In December 2018 the UNESCO Australian Memory of the World Program organised a national summit on the topic in Canberra. That summit meeting endorsed 'The Canberra Declaration' as an action agenda for the documentary heritage sectors and agreed that the UNESCO Memory of the World Program should continue to take carriage of the initiative. Since then a steering committee has been established and two seminars/webinars have been run. the first on Documenting Covid-19 in Australia and the most recent on Documenting the Experiences of Australian on Welfare. This paper provides an update on the status of the initiative, the outcomes of our two webinars and our plans for the future. It is hoped to engage delegates with an interactive discussion about future directions for this important initiative.
