The aim of the SIG is to provide a forum for archivists with an interest in Religious Collections to exchange ideas and experiences. The SIG holds its annual meeting during the annual ASA Conference and a newsletter is circulated twice a year. In the longer term, the establishment of State and local groups will be encouraged so as to provide further contact between archivists with an interest in the field. The Federal school archives SIG meets annually at the time of each ASA conference. The meetings are informal and may take the form of workshops or talks by guest speakers.
Members receive occasional newsletters and notices of meetings.
SIG members are available for advice about school archives and related matters. In recent times the convenor of the group has been Gavan McCarthy , Director at the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre . The group meets each year at the ASA Annual Conference and organises other meetings and conferences as circumstances permit. Members receive the History of Australian Science Newsletter. Special newsletters and communications are sent to members as required.
