The National Film and Sound Archive’s Darwin Access Centre, in partnership with the Northern Territory Library, has been officially launched by special guest Sigrid Thornton. The NFSA’s Access Centre service provides research access to items from the collection and this final addition to the NFSA’s Access Centres means there is now an 🚨 Invalid link 🚨 Access Centre in every capital city.
Visitors to the Access Centre at the Northern Territory Library will be able to view and listen to locally-held items from the NFSA’s collection, as well as order collection material from the NFSA’s Canberra headquarters.
The launch was threatened by an ash cloud that closed airports around Australia, but in the end only slightly delayed the arrival of Thornton, who was cheered by guests, including dignitaries, filmmakers, historians and Indigenous broadcasters.
