Editorial
Abstract
Many of you reading this issue of Archives and manuscripts will have heard by now that in October 2011, the members of Council voted unanimously on behalf of the Australian Society of Archivists to enter into a publishing arrangement with Taylor & Francis for future production of the journal. This decision came after many years of information gathering and consultation with experts, including former editors of the journal, editorial board members past and present, and a range of other members of the ASA who have an interest in the journal and knowledge of academic publishing. As part of this process, I also provided Council with informed advice as the current editor of the journal. I was pleased to be able to work closely with Council, alongside the ASA's hard-working Executive Officer Alice-Anne Boylan, to help them arrive at a considered, rational and wise decision on the journal's future.
