LU REES ARCHIVES HIGHLIGHTS OF 2012
The Lu Rees Archives Management Committee gratefully acknowledges the
University of Canberra Library’s generous support since 1980. The Library provides
facilities, cataloguing, printing and valuable expertise. We also acknowledge the
annual donation of $1,500 from The Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA)
ACT Branch. The CBCA’s National Executive has funded, since 1993, the part-time
position of the Lu Rees Archives Archival Officer. In 2011, funds supported the
Archives’ endeavours through 17 hours weekly for 46 weeks annually.
The Archives continues its contribution to AustLit: The Resource for
AustralianLiterature, the web-based database covering Australian literature from
1780 to the present. Ten Australian universities and the National Library of Australia
provide bibliographic records and index Australian literature in print and electronic
sources. The Archives provided 12,000 bibliographic records in 2000 and continues
to index works, thereby adding to the profile and knowledge base of Australian
children’s literature.
In 1980 when the Archives came to the University of Canberra, there were 1,000
books. Now there are 22,708 including 2,899 translations in 53 languages. In 1980,
there were 60 research files. These have grown to 410. This year 11 serial titles and
1,468 books including 227 overseas editions in 30 languages were donated. There
were nine monetary donations. Donations came from 17 authors and illustrators, 27
publishers and 15 individuals and organisations. Under the Cultural Gifts Program
this year, we accepted a third donation of Gillian Rubinstein’s papers and
manuscripts and Pamela Lofts’ artwork for Koala Lou and Hunwick’s Egg, both by
Mem Fox.
The Archives Funding Group began in 2009. It continues to submit grants and seek
sponsorship. This year, we completed our ACT Seniors and Sponsorship Program
project, using Australian children’s literature to promote wellbeing and social
interaction within Kangara Waters and Calvary retirement communities. The Archives
received an ACT Festival Grant to run Boundless: The Festival of Australian
Children’s Literature, a collaborative venture led by the Lu Rees Archives with
partners Libraries ACT, the ACT Writers Centre, National Library of Australia, and the
ACT Branch of the CBCA. Boundless runs from 3 October to 17 November and
features Gabrielle Lord and Andy Griffiths in various activities and exhibitions in six
public libraries. On the launch of this festival, we were awarded a similar festival
grant for 2013, for Showcase which will feature 100 years of Canberra’s writers,
illustrators and publishers for children, to celebrate Canberra’s Centenary. The
Archives received its fourth Community Heritage Grant, to digitise unique audiotapes
of writers, illustrators and publishers speaking between 1975-1998.
The Archives continues to promote Australian children’s literature with secondary
students and University of Canberra students and offered student internships for
graduate students of the University of Canberra and Edith Cowen University.
We acknowledged the service of two long-standing volunteers. Ilze Groves edited our
journal for seven years, actively participated on our Management Committee and
curated the very successful Words…Pictures…Book! exhibition in 2007. Over seven
years, Rose Howes has ensured a high standard of cataloguing essential for our
research collection, supported many important projects and is a keen spokesperson
for the Archives. Finally, this year, we have changed the titles for our staff to reflect
better the nature of the work. The Collections Development Manager became
Director and the Administrative Officer became Archival Officer.

Lu Rees Archives Annual Plan 2012, page 4
1 BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
In 1974, when a Commonwealth Government grant of $500 was made to each
Branch of the CBCA, the ACT Branch began a collection of biographical files about
Australian children’s authors and illustrators along with a collection of their books. Lu
Rees, then president of the ACT Branch, proposed this idea to all the Branches, who
agreed. As a beginning, Lu Rees donated her personal collection of some 500 books.
Members of the CBCA ACT Branch added to both the book collection and the files
over the years.
In 1979, to celebrate the International Year of the Child, Lu Rees proposed that the
collection should include translations of works by Australian children's authors and
illustrators. Publishers, authors and illustrators donated available books. The
exception was Ivan Southall's personal collection of 83 volumes, which the Branch
purchased with a grant from the International Year of the Child Committee. Southall’s
collection in 2012 numbered 240 volumes, including variant editions and translations.
Emily Rodda is presently Australia’s most translated author. The Archives holds her
complete body of work, of more than 700 editions in 32 languages. In 2012, Gillian
Rubinstein also donated her large body of work, including the Tales of the Otori, in 39
editions.
By 1979, the collection as a whole had grown to some 1000 books and 60 files of
materials about authors and illustrators. Increasingly, requests were received to use
the collection, but this was difficult as the collection was housed in the homes of Lu
Rees and other Branch members. The time had come to consider a future home for
the collection. While various ideas were discussed, Belle Alderman suggested the
Canberra College of Advanced Education Library as a possibility. Victor Crittenden,
the Librarian at the College, fully supported the idea. A more public location would
mean that students, researchers and the community could have easier access.
Negotiations began with the Librarian and administrators of the College.
The Chairman of the College Council, Douglas Waterhouse, accepted the collection
at a ceremony held on 15 July 1980. Conditions of use and access were informally
agreed upon by both parties, with the Children's Book Council ACT Branch to retain
ownership of the collection and the Library to house, catalogue and provide support
in various ways. At that time, the collection was formally named the Lu Rees
Archives in honour of its founder. In 1988 the Archives gained deductible gift
recipient status, renewed in 2000, and also classification as a tax-exempt charity. By
2012, 35 donations of authors’ and illustrators’ papers, manuscripts and artworks
have been accepted under the Cultural Gifts Program, as well as a publisher’s
archive. Their value exceeded $1,900,000 in 2012. View achievements at
http://www.canberra.edu.au/lu-rees/about/achievements-awards/timeline#1990s.
A formal agreement was drawn up between the ACT Branch and the University of
Canberra (formerly the College) in June of 1991 and renewed in October of 2003.
The Agreement details sponsorship by the Library, management responsibilities,
access, security, and termination and dissolution arrangements. In 2008, background
on the Lu Rees Archives, its legal standing and ownership, and the support provided
by the National Executive of the CBCA was added to CBCA’s national Procedures
Manual. This Manual is the official guide for the CBCA’S National Executive. The Lu
Rees Archives Policy Documents are regularly revised and approved by the
Archives’ Management Committee. These include the Lu Rees Archives of Australian
Children’s Literature Strategic Plan 2011-2015 and the Lu Rees Archives
Commercial Development Plan 2012-2017, produced in 2012 in recognition of the
enhanced value of the Archives and the need to position it for future growth and
development.

2 COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
2.1 Research Files
In 2008, the Archives’ Director reported on the then existing 317 research files on
authors, illustrators, and others in the Australian children’s book industry. An external
expert has judged the research files, dating from the 1970s, ‘unmatched’ and
‘significant’. They are a large commitment. The Archives uses 30 categories to
classify each item, which also receives a unique number. New files take a minimum
of four hours to research and prepare. Updating existing files generally takes 10-15
hours. Tasks involve researching relevant items, classifying these, photocopying
degradable material, alphabetising, and filing. A plan was implemented to better
manage the research files.

The Archives’ Management Committee considered a second review of the research
files in October 2011. In these three years, 83 new files were created, thus exceeding
a recommendation to create 61 files identified as urgent. Given the time-consuming
nature of this task yet their designation as significant, the following recommendations
were accepted by the Management Committee and are being implemented to
manage the research files more efficiently and effectively.

1. Set reasonable annual targets (for example, create 10 new files, update 8 files)
2. Continue to label each item with name and category
3. No longer individually number each new item
4. No longer order the new items chronologically
5. Updating active files
Create a priority list of files for updating, using the criteria that these are
‘active’, high profile, reflect strong research interest, and have not updated for
more than 7 years
Develop a five-year priority plan for updating these files, possibly applying for
a grant
6. Creating new files
Maintain a list of files which should be created based on growth and profile
Meet annual target set

Seven new files have been researched and created this year, making a total of 410
research files. New files include Aaron Blabey, Peter Carnavas, Gabrielle Lord, Lucia
Masciullo, Simon Mitchell, Chris McKimmie and Pamela Rushby. Authors and
illustrators are always emerging and many of our existing files continue to grow.

Only a few research files are comprehensively updated each year, although we are
constantly adding material to files. The two files updated this year were Bob Graham
and Christina Booth.
2.2 Books, Serials and Special Donations
The Lu Rees Archives receives donations of books and serials from publishers,
authors, illustrators, individuals, the ACT Branch of the CBCA and other
organisations. These make a significant contribution to the Archives’ research
capacity. This year the Archives received 1,468 books, of which 227 were overseas
editions, including 45 Chinese editions. Appendix 3, Donations, provides details.
The ACT Branch of the CBCA provided funds to purchase second-hand titles from
the Lifeline Book Fair, Canberra’s largest second hand book sale. Many gems are
found there, thanks to Angela Brown who ‘spots’ books on behalf of the Archives.
Lu Rees Archives Annual Plan 2012, page 6
This year we purchased 614 titles. This included 49 Michael Salmons, 22 Shirley
Barbers and 16 May Gibbs. There were a number of titles from the early 1930s to the
late 1960s, which helped to fill in gaps in the collection. We were also lucky to
receive titles from Hesba Brinsmead, Mary Grant Bruce, Aeneas Gunn, Ivan
Southall, Colin Thiele, Ethel Turner and Dorothy Wall that are now harder to find.
The Resource Services and Academic Services (reference materials) teams in the
Library have catalogued 1799 items in the last year (1 October 2011 to 30
September 2012). We are grateful to the Library staff for their continued cataloguing
efforts of the Archives’ books, including assisting with the correction and updating of
records identified in the stock take.
2.3 Cultural Gifts Program & Finding Aids
Two collections were submitted under the Cultural Gifts Program (CGP) this year.
These were Pamela Lofts’ artwork for Hunwick’s Egg and Koala Lou both written by
Mem Fox. The artworks are exquisite and include varying amounts of final artwork,
preliminary artwork, storyboards, photographic material, and correspondence.
Artwork frameworks were prepared for both these titles by an experienced volunteer,
Max Brown, and are available on the Lu Rees website.

Gillian Rubinstein donated an extensive collection of material. The papers and
manuscripts in this collection span the years 1956 – 2010. It is housed in 16 standard
and three oversized boxes. The donation also included 21 audio recordings, a
videotape and 69 of her published works in 17 languages. Unique strengths include
correspondence between family members from her early teenage years to the
present, life records, extensive documentation of the Tales of the Otori, including
handwritten manuscripts, maps and planning details, evidence of this series’ critical
acceptance and enjoyment by readers worldwide. This donation provides a valuable
addition to two previous CGP donations by Gillian Rubinstein. The latest Gillian
Rubinstein finding aid is available from the Archives’ website.
2.4 Wish List
There has been a positive response to the Hesba Brinsmead wish list
(http://www.canberra.edu.au/lu-rees/donations/wishlist). Of the 34 titles originally
listed in 2011, twelve have been donated this year, so only 22 to go! This year we
have also received ten titles from the Colin Thiele Wish List
(http://www.canberra.edu.au/lu-rees/donations/wishlist/thiele-wishlist).
3 ACCESS
3.1 Website Update
The Lu Rees website (http://www.canberra.edu.au/lu-rees/home) has recently
undergone a total facelift and now presents a fresher, cleaner appearance with
clearer navigation. A slide show featuring 10 images has been added to the home
page, welcoming people to the Archives. Additional images have been added
throughout the site. These images reflect the diversity of materials and resources that
can be found in the Archives. A new website has been developed presenting
information related to Boundless, the upcoming Festival of Australian Children’s
Literature being held from 3 October – 17 November 2012
(http://www.canberra.edu.au/festival-childrens-literature/home). This site can be
accessed from the Lu Rees home page and provides links back to the Lu Rees home
page.

Lu Rees Archives Annual Plan 2012, page 7
For the period 1 October 2011– 30 September 2012 the website received 3,891
visits, with 2.08 pages viewed per visit. The average visit duration is 1 minute 41
seconds. The five most visited pages are: The Home page - Welcome to the Lu Rees
Archives; the Author-Illustrator Index; Websites on Children’s Literature; the Past
events page for Words, Pictures, Books!; and the Searching the Archives page.

The 3,891 visits to the website came from over 50 different countries. The majority of
visitors were from Australia, followed by the United States, Indonesia, the United
Kingdom, India, Canada, Vietnam, Malaysia, New Zealand and Thailand.
3.2 AustLit: The Resource for Australian Literature
The Lu Rees Archives is a foundation AustLit partner. From 2001 to 2006, the
Archives, under the direction of Professor Belle Alderman, took the principal
responsibility for recording the data that forms AustLit’s Australian Children's
Literature research community. The Lu Rees Archives (representing the University of
Canberra) continues to be a partner in the AustLit project. AustLit is a non-profit
collaboration between 10 Australian Universities and the National Library of Australia,
which provides authoritative information on creative and critical Australian literature
works relating to more than 136,950 Australian authors and literary organisations. Its
coverage spans 1780 to present day.
Each institution adds and maintains records, and is responsible for particular
publications. The Lu Rees Archives is responsible for part of the children’s literature
section, and so indexes some of the journals that relate to this. These journals are
Reading Time, English in Australia, The Newsletter of the Centre for Youth Literature,
The Horn Book Magazine, and The Lu Rees Archives: Notes, Books and Authors. In
addition to these journals, other works such as new books, new authors and
illustrators, theses, reports, awards and author biography updates are also indexed.
Between 1 October 2011 and September 30 2012, the Administrative Officer added
or updated 243 works (books and reviews) and 24 agents (authors, illustrators and
publishers).
3.3 Stock Take
Dedicated volunteers, Rose Howes and Marlene Campbell, are continuing to work on
the stock take of the book collection, which began in May 2011. They have
completed from A to Lord and from Potter to Z, which included all of Emily Rodda's
publications in many languages. To date 170 titles have been found that had not
previously been catalogued. These have now been catalogued. Additional
information concerning which titles have been signed by authors/illustrators, the
sequence of reprints and new editions, plus any other relevant information is being
added to individual cataloguing records.
3.4 Ebook Project
Rebecca Kemble, former Lu Rees Administrative Officer, and now in charge of
ebooks in the University of Canberra Library, has pursued our ebook project and
reports progress.

The rapid uptake of ebooks in the last few years is having an impact on collecting
institutions (such as the national and state libraries), changing the way they collect,
store and preserve information. Digital preservation issues are making themselves
felt everywhere, including the Lu Rees Archives

Lu Rees Archives Annual Plan 2012, page 8
Although children’s books have been slow to move into the ebook arena (especially
books for younger children, the young adult field has had a higher take-up), there are
kids’ books being published as ebooks. The Archives’ Management Committee is
taking steps to start collecting, storing and preserving ebooks. We want to be able to
provide researchers access to these ebooks both now, and well into the future.

As a first step we wrote to some of our donating publishers, outlining what we hoped
to achieve and asking for their support in donating copies of their ebooks as well as
their print books. As there are a number of ways ebooks could potentially be
accessed by researchers, we gave the publishers several options for the use of their
ebooks through the LRA.

It is early days yet and publishers are still working out their policies and processes.
We have had some successes though, and hope to start preserving ebooks soon,
laying the groundwork for the future. We hope that within a few years, we will be
collecting and preserving the bulk of Australian children’s ebooks.
4 SERVICES TO CLIENTS
4.1 Clients
There was an increase of 21% in the number of clients assisted by the Administrative
Officer and the Collections Development Manager. This year we have assisted 512
clients who have contacted or visited the Archives. The majority of requests to the
Archives came from staff and students of the University of Canberra.

The clients who contact the Archives are varied and include authors, illustrators,
donors, teachers, students (primary and high school, college, and tertiary),
researchers, university staff, and members of the public. The most common contact
with the Archives was a visit. Other forms of contact include emails, phone requests
and via a closed access form. For full details of the requests and clients who are
using the resources provided, please see Appendix 4.
4.2 Volunteer Contributions
Volunteers play an extremely important role in the everyday management and
operation of the Archives. This year our valued regular volunteers continued to make
a major contribution to the ongoing development of the Archives. We were also
fortunate to have a number of new volunteers who offer specialist expertise.

As in past years the number of volunteer hours worked has continued to rise. The
figures in the table below show a 10.4% increase in the total hours worked by
volunteers. The 2,705 hours (2449.34 in 2011 and 2013.28 in 2010) worked by
volunteers is equivalent to 386.43 days full time equivalent or over 16 months (based
on a seven hour day and an average of 23 working days in a month). Table 1 on the
following page provides brief descriptions of the types of tasks that volunteers
undertake.
