Discover what the archives reveal about the history of our national broadcaster and its audience.

Join Professor Bridget Griffen-Foley and Dr Kylie Andrews to explore 5 decades of ABC document archives, from 1932 to 1983, held in the national archival collection.

Explore letters from listeners and viewers, switchboard call logs and advisory committee records from across the country, revealing how Australians responded to and shaped the Australian Broadcasting Commission.

Drawing on work from a 3-year research partnership between National Archives, the ABC and Macquarie University to uncover and make these records more discoverable, this special webinar explores the national broadcaster’s place in Australia’s social, cultural and political life.

This partnership is supported by an Australian Research Council Linkage grant.
