Abstract

The National Gallery of Australia Research Library and Archives (NGARL&A) offers unique collections and provides vital services within the contemporary Australian art world, but there has been a seismic shift in their users and use. This paper will explore the impact this change has had on our roles as art archivists and provide insight into new ways these collections are being used.
