Post ww2immigration
After WWII, the Australian government changed its policy on immigration away from the racially discriminatory White Australia Policy. It began promoting immigration to help rebuild the economy and address fears of future conflicts in Asia. The government embarked on an assisted migration program, offering cheap passage for immigrants particularly from Britain, helping to attract over 70,000 immigrants per year and giving rise to the term "£10 Poms". There was some public concern about non-British immigrants, so the government arranged favorable publicity for immigrants from places like the Baltics to make European immigration more palatable to Australians. Immigrants were initially housed in temporary camps to help them assimilate into Australian society.

The document discusses the New Zealand aesthetic of resourcefulness and DIY culture. It traces the historical roots from Polynesian and Maori settlers through periods of economic protectionism that fostered self-sufficiency. Today, Kiwis take pride in their DIY skills and it influences art and design. However, cheap imports threaten this culture. The future may involve emphasizing local sourcing and products with a DIY aesthetic to maintain this value.

The term ‘digital preservation’ isn’t particularly ‘sexy’ on its own, conjuring up images of an airless room with carefully calibrated technology, or a computer locked tightly away in a safe. But digital preservation actually provides the entry point to a wealth of collections, and ensures that these collections are organised, accessible, and consistently available for the foreseeable future. This talk will address the importance of digital preservation to scholarly inquiry, and focus on the role that trusted digital collections play in humanities and social sciences research.

Through a glass, darkly – reflections upon digitisation
Digitisation is a process in which we seek to find a digital future from the material cultures and intellectual objects of the past. We seek to reflect upon these to gain new insights and possibly even fresh enlightenment. But as Paul the apostle stated in 1 Corinthians 13:12: “we see through a glass, darkly” and have an obscure or imperfect vision. Simon Tanner hopes in this keynote he will add light by sharing his reflections upon the benefits and value of digitization to research and scholarship. Further he will seek to provoke debate and discussion – can we see more clearly by using digitization as a means to investigate the past?
