URL: http://georgepatongalleryarchive.wordpress.com/

Description: The George Paton Gallery Archive is a collection of material dated between 1972-c.1990 and includes Annual Reports to Visual Arts Board, Australia Council, correspondence, exhibition catalogues, publications, photographs, slides, video recordings, audio recordings, posters and more. The purpose of this blog is to share items of interest to the archivist processing and listing the George Paton Gallery collection and discuss significant connections and events as they arise. The collection is available for access through the University of Melbourne Archives to researchers or anyone interested in art an Melbourne history and culture. An online, searchable list of the collection will be accessible early 2013. The Ewing Gallery was established in the Union building in 1938. In 1971 Kiffy Carter (nee Rubbo) was appointed director of the Ewing Gallery and Rowden White Library, and began a programme of changing exhibitions funded by the Student Union. From 1974 funding also came from the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council; in that year a meeting room was converted to the George Paton Gallery and it merged with the Ewing Gallery. The Gallery was at the cutting edge of the contemporary art scene in Melbourne, but was increasingly criticized within the student body for catering to the wider art community rather than the student community. It wound up at the end of 1990 after the withdrawal of Student Union funding. The Ewing Collection was transferred to the University Museum of Art. The gallery reopened in 1994 and is still operating today with a focus on serving students and providing a professional experience, not only to University of Melbourne students but all Victorian Art Schools. The calibre and prestige remains high; many aspiring and acclaimed artists and curators have been associated with the George Paton Gallery since its reopening, the gallery itself a significant Melbourne exhibition and cultural venue.

Title: A collection of words | Literary collections at the University of Melbourne Archives

URL: http://umaliteraryarchives.wordpress.com/

Description: The purpose of this blog is to bring to light material that deserves its place in Australian literary history as well as to provoke discussion and inspiration amongst those interested in the past, present and future Australian literary scene. It is also with anticipation that writers can use material in UMA to help them thematically as well as stylistically, and deepen the context of literature in the collection by contemporary engagement. The literary and publishing collections at the University of Melbourne Archives (UMA) centre on the creation and publication of literary works, as well as the records of unions and organisations that deal with people working in the literary and publishing fields. The collections range from the papers of individual authors, publishing houses, and book collectors to the operational documents of literary journals, trade unions, and printing firms. Whilst the publishing and printing collections contain mainly business and operating records, the literary collections contain a richness of primary material from diaries & notebooks, correspondence, artwork, and photographs.
