ItemAustralian television news: public and private historiesSmelter, Danielle ( 2006)Given the pervasiveness of television as an entertainment and news source over the past fifty years it is appropriate that due consideration be given to the preservation of this media for future reference and enjoyment. There is currently a large disparity in legislation and funding for audiovisual media in comparison with traditional print media. It is the aim of this research to analyse current practice against future needs and international standards in order to propose a framework for the preservation of this integral part of our cultural history.

ItemThe potential use of alkali substances to prevent the development of Byne's efflorescence in bird egg collectionsShepherdson, Kate ( 2006)Byne's Efflorescence is a deterioration problem faced by bird egg and mollusca collections. The deterioration is initiated by the presence of acetic acid vapours which react with calcium carbonate in these collection items resulting in the formation of a white powder film on their surfaces. The current research is designed to evaluate the potential of using alkaline compounds in eggshell storage cabinets to neutralise acetic acid vapours. The intended aim of this research is to determine whether alkaline substances can be used to develop cost effective methods of slowing and/or preventing this deterioration in Museum collections.
