  • Descrição: The author started his Bachelor of Economics at Monash University in 1963. His arrival intersected the publications of Noel Butlin's two seminal pioneering works, Australian Domestic Product (1962) and Investment in Australian Economic Development, 1861-1900 (1964). Of course, he had no idea at the time how Butlin's work, and the discipline of Australian economic history he created almost single-handedly, would shape his professional life. He was one of the lucky ones who found gainful employment in the burgeoning departments of economic history that sprang up in so many universities. While he never worked at ANU, he met Butlin on many occasions. All of them in the field were drawn to Canberra for conferences and seminars, and to use the wonderful collection of records at the Noel Butlin Archives Centre (NBAC). The question he wants to explore is the future of archives, such as the NBAC and the one at his own university.
