There was a bit of excitement at my place this morning.
The State Library of Queensland asked permission to archive my blog in the National Library of Australia as part of the PANDORA initiative to preserve our online documentary heritage.
PANDORA, Australia’s Web Archive, is a growing collection of Australian online publications, established initially by the National Library of Australia in 1996, and now built in collaboration with nine other Australian libraries and cultural collecting organisations.
I still can’t believe my little blog is going to make it to the National Archives.
To celebrate, my dear friend Wendy who is staying with me for a few days took me out to our local (rather smart) florist and treated me to these lovely fresh flowers.
Altogether it turned out to be a very special morning. Not quite what I was expecting when I woke up today.
