Closure of the National Archives of Australia State offices
The Darwin, Adelaide and Hobart offices are being closed down over the next three years. As well as staff cuts this will also take away local access to residents in those states. A lot of records are available online on the NAA website and clients can contact the archives to have copies of records sent to them, however there are instances where people need to get hold of records that day be it for passport applications, proof of ID or social security benefits.
Below is a copy of a letter submitted to the ASA listserv by one of the staff at Wollongong University. He has granted people rights to use the text of the letter for themselves. If you are concerned about this downsizing then please send a print copy of the letter or similar to your local Federal member.
"> Dear
>
> It has come to my attention that your government is closing the Darwin, Adelaide and Hobart offices of the National Archives of Australia.
>
>
>
> I would ask that you request the Minister responsible, Senator Ludwig, to put an immediate freeze on these closures.
>
> It is vital that all Australians have access to the collections of the NAA.
>
> The closure of these offices will severely impact upon such access.
>
> The closure of the Darwin office, in particular, will impact upon Indigenous Australians seeking to use the Archives collections.
>
> These offices must remain open, irregardless of the issue of internet access.
>
> The process of accessing and using archival material is a complex one - I know, I am a professional archivist and researcher.
>
> Trained archival staff are needed on hand to assist with this. They are also required to source material and ensure that aspects of the historic record of our nation are preserved and made accessible.
>
> I look forward to your support in this matter.
>
> All the best."

And don't forget the Russ Meyer extravaganza starting this Friday
INSATIABLE VIXENS & BUXOM BABES DESCEND ON THE CHAUVEL THIS FRIDAY!
Get ready for a sensational over-the-top homage to the king of sexploitation as the Chauvel Cinema presents GO, GO! KILL! KILL! A Russ Meyer Retrospective, every Friday night from Sep 11 until Oct 9, 2009.
Mixing ample-breasted actresses and a dash of camp, Russ Meyer made a string of pictures through the 60s and 70s - writing, directing, filming, editing and much of the time producing his own films. Transcending their exploitation roots, his films are holy grails of tits-and-ass trash featuring spiteful women with unquenchable libidos, put-upon men, hot cars, fisticuffs and double entendres.
Don't miss this once-in-a-life-time opportunity to experience Russ Meyer's special brand of lust, madness and wild suburbia on the big screen!
GO, GO! KILL! KILL! A Russ Meyer Retrospective Sep 11-Oct 9 at Chauvel Cinema (Cnr Oxford St & Oatley Rds, Paddington) Tickets now on sale: $16.50 general/$13.50 concession & 2ser members
Click here to purchase
Or season pass ($50.00) available in person from the cinema only.
- 8.30pm Fri 11 Sep BENEATH THE VALLEY OF THE ULTRA VIXENS (1979) (R18+) An all-out assault on today's sexual mores, and more.
- 8.30pm Fri 18 Sep VIXEN (1968) (R18+) Meyer's first monster-hit. Randy lumberjacks, Canadian Mounties and Cuban revolutionaries are no match for Vixen Erica Gavin. Is she woman... or animal?
- 8.30pm Fri 25 Sep FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965) (M) A new breed of superwoman emerges out of the ruthlessness of our times. John Waters' favourite film of all time.
- 8.30pm Fri 2 Oct UP! (1976) (R18+) No - not the Pixar film - far from it! Two-timers, cops, robbers and joints. Mind-boggling, bra-busting women, plus the usual assortment of good lookin', awesomely hung and klutzy men.
- 8.30pm Fri 9 Oct SUPERVIXENS (1975) (R18+) A cinematic smorgasbord of erotic fantasy. A rural "Fellini" geared for the young and old alike, the sophisticate and the blue collar... Meyer wields the double bladed axe of satire, and cuts to the very bone of society.

Critical praise:
"4 stars! One of Miyazaki's funniest and most intimate film so far with an attractive, almost anarchic heroine... And if you want the authentic Miyazaki experience, it's best to see the subtitled version.
Sandra Hall, THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
"4 stars! Another memorable film. It's incredibly beautiful as Miyazaki explores an amazing world of sea creatures and, quite realistically, the human beings"
David Stratton, AT THE MOVIES
"4 stars! It's a delight. There is so much imagination at work here."
Margaret Pomeranz, AT THE MOVIES

Hollywood’s “Sword and Sandal” history flicks will be given a fun reality check when University of Sydney archaeologists – and film buffs – Dr Estelle Lazer and Dr Craig Barker present three evenings of film and chat at the Nicholson Museum starting next Tuesday night (11 August, 2009).
The two ancient history experts will go on a light-hearted romp through history to discuss why Hollywood has been so fascinated by ancient history and men wearing sandals. They will then delve deeply into the trivia of a specific film and separate the myths from the facts screening segments of the film to support their cases. First up next Tuesday (August 11) is the classic, The Last Days of Pompeii. Then on Tuesday, 18 August, Gladiators and Fights, will get the expert treatment while on Tuesday, 25 August, 2009, visitors will be able to get the low-down on the sword-wielding feature that is Hercules the Hero. Each event kicks off at 6.30pm.

For all
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EUCHRONIA PROMISES STEAMPUNK NEW YEAR’S EVE
MELBOURNE, 04 December, 2008. NYE 2008 will see the inauguration of EUCHRONIA, a Steampunk/Neo-Victorian “Year’s End Ball” featuring local and interstate DJs, three bands and a half dozen burlesque and cabaret acts performing across three rooms at the historic VICTORIAN TRADES HALL.
Originally a science fiction literary subgenre, Steampunk today is a retro-tech, craft-oriented lifestyling movement thriving on the internet, a “geek cool” aesthetic with an expanding presence in anime, computer-gaming and big-screen film. At its least it’s a Golden Compass-y, Victorianeque art fashion with some current cachet. At its best it’s the next big thing. EUCHRONIA (from the Greek "eu", meaning "good", and "chronos", "time") is Australia’s first major Steampunk event.
EUCHRONIA recently announced the addition of skilled Stage Magician ALEX DE LA RAMBELJE and prominent local promoter DJ LOBOTOMY to the packed bill, where they join bands DANDELION WINE, THE TENTH STAGE and SFORZANDO, dance troupe SERPENTSKIRT, burlesque dancers ROSY RABBIT and
THE TANQUERAYS and risqué acrobat TANK THE MUPPET. Other attractions include six DJs from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, Victorian-style portrait photography, and optional membership in THE ANTIPODEAN LEAGUE OF TEMPORAL VOYAGERS which includes a catered pre-opening event and
horse-and-buggy ride. EUCHRONIA encourages sartorial extravagance, and its beautiful 19th Century venue will be lavishly decorated in appropriately anachronistic style.
EUCHRONIA is an 18+ event. Doors open at 9pm. Tickets are $55 until 15-December, online or at a range of ticketing agents throughout Melbourne. See www.euchronia.com for more information and press pack.

Coming up at the NFSA
Thu 13 November 6:30pm CRYING IN COLOR: HOW HOLLYWOOD COPED WHEN TECHNICOLOR DIED
Using extracts from original film prints, author and academic Russell Merritt takes a look at 3-colour Technicolor in the late 1940s and ‘50s – the final years of its aesthetic and technical ascendancy in Hollywood. At 7.30pm Merritt also introduces a rare screening of one of the finest examples of Technicolor’s colour alchemy: Moulin Rouge, (USA/UK, 1952, 119’, 35mm (PG), John Huston’s biopic of the Belle Époque and Toulouse-Lautrec (played by José Ferrer), shot by UK cinematographer Oswald Morris in vivid homage to the erotic palette of the artist’s work.
