ABSTRACT This paper examines key issues emerging from the July 2014 Where We Are Heading sessions conducted between the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) CEO Michael Loebenstein, industry stakeholders and members of the public seeking to engage with the future direction of the NFSA. Analysis of transcripts from these public meetings reveals that significant conceptual and programmatic gaps exist between what the NFSA has done in the past, how it ‘self-actualises’ in terms of a national collection and what it can practically and effectively achieve in the near future. These significant challenges to the historical function of the Archive occur at a time of pronounced economic austerity for public cultural institutions and expanding, digitally driven curatorial responsibilities. Tensions exist between the need for the NFSA to increase revenue while preserving the function of an open and accessible Archive. Three key areas of challenge are addressed – digitisation, funding and the need for the NFSA to connect more broadly and more deeply with Australian society. The latter area is identified as crucial as the NFSA continues to articulate and actively promote the public value of the Archive through renewed programme and outreach efforts.

争论档案馆:紧缩时期重新构想国家电影和声音档案馆

摘要本文研究了2014年7月在美国国家电影和声音档案馆(NFSA)首席执行官Michael Loebenstein,行业利益相关者和寻求与NFSA未来方向互动的公众之间举行的“我们要参加的会议”期间出现的关键问题。对这些公开会议的笔录进行的分析表明,NFSA过去所做的工作,其在国家收集方面的“自我实现”以及在不久的将来可以切实有效地实现的目标之间存在重大的概念和计划差距。这些对档案馆历史职能的重大挑战发生在公共文化机构对经济紧缩和数字化策展责任日益扩大的时期。NFSA需要增加收入,同时又要保持开放和可访问存档的功能之间存在紧张关系。解决了三个关键的挑战领域–数字化,资金和NFSA与澳大利亚社会更广泛,更深入地联系的需求。随着NFSA不断阐明和通过新的计划和外展工作积极地促进档案馆的公共价值,后一个领域被认为是至关重要的。
