Our August cardiParty was at the wonderful Chinese Museum where we had a fabulous tour and talk about the current exhibition.
However, due to technical difficulties we couldn’t record the event on the night (never fear, we will have an interview with the Curator, Ethel Villafranca, very soon) but as we were at the Chinese Museum some of us couldn’t help but recall the Italian Museum we visited oh so long ago now in 2016.
So, instead of the recording of our August cardiParty, we invite you to listen, or refresh your memory, to our awesome cardiParty at the Museo Italiano.
Enjoy.

Melbourne newCardigan Interview
We asked you to ask our ex President, Justine Hanna, some questions about what her life in Libraries and GLAM network is like and what her plans are for the future. We thought it fitting that our current President, Clare Presser, asks or former President these cutting questions.
What they actually did was bang on about cats, books and cheese.
And there is nothing wrong with that.

Did we capture all of this in audio form? No- you kind of had to be there.

It’s been awhile since we published our last episode back at the start of 2020. As we could no longer host cardiParties, we ran out of recordings for cardiCast. We concentrated our efforts on cardiShorts, but now it’s time to bring back cardiCast with a series of Zoom interviews with members of our incredible GLAM community.
Our first episode in this series is with Nick Henderson, Curator at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA), and volunteer curator and archivist at the Australian Queer Archives. We discuss the role of curator at NFSA and how that has changed over the last few years. Digital engagement with collections via social media and online; and accessing collections during a pandemic. LGBTIQA+ representation in collections, exhibitions and the GLAM community.
We hope you enjoy this new series.

The Cygnet Seed Library is a community project in Tasmania’s Huon Valley. Hugh chats with Heather Macfarlane about the philosophy behind the project, how it works, and why the organisers chose to call it a “library” rather than something else. Conceptualised as a way to bring new and established residents of Cygnet together in a context of rapid gentrification, the Cygnet Seed Library became so much more when Covid-19 emerged. The Library brings community together, builds more resilience in to Cygnet’s food supply, provides social opportunities for all, and helps to frame our thinking around knowledge, culture, and economics.
The best way to save a seed is to grow it. And the best way to store a seed is to share it.

Clare took a trip out to Anglesea and had a chat with Jocelyn, who was working on the Bellarine and Surf Coast Mobile Library branch of the Geelong Regional Library Corporation. Between some squeaks and creaks, they discuss the joys and challenges of offering a service like the Mobile Library. A small cast of local characters are interspersed throughout the interview, because what is a community library without the community itself? Short, sweet and (full disclosure) a little bit noisy, it’s a lovely snapshot of what it’s like to work offering this unique service.

After a 12 month break (almost to the day), we are are getting back in game with a bit of a reboot to cardiCast. Shorter seasons that focus on specialist subjects and a touch of project development time in-between. Good quality conversations that, hopefully, spark community conversation with a framework that will allow a little more consistency for our listeners.
Welcome back to cardiCast!
Clare Presser interviews museum owner, writer and perfumer, Mandy Aftel.
Nestled in Berkeley, California, the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents is a micro museum that offers a unique olfactory experience curated by Mandy Aftel, a renowned figure in natural perfumery.
With exhibits ranging from rare botanicals to ancient artifacts, the museum invites visitors to explore the rich history and artistry of perfume. Our conversation explores the challenges of running these community spaces, how rewarding they can be and whether best practice and best use always align.
In a world filled with noise and chaos, the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents offers a moment of tranquility and wonder—a testament to the enduring allure of fragrance.

In our upcoming series we will talk to four GLAM workers about what made GLAM Twitter so great, and the benefits and possible futures of other ways we communicate and collaborate as professionals.

In our last episode in our GLAM after Twitter series, Hugh speaks with Eleanor Colla about email newsletters, Twitter, professional communication and identity, and the separation between “work” and “career”.
Eleanor has worked in tertiary research libraries across Australia since 2016, but has recently left the GLAM sector to see what being a project manager is all about. Eleanor’s interests are in how to best integrate library services within the broader tertiary environment, the nexus of information, research, and project management, the role of cross-boundary professionals in tertiary institutions, and library advocacy.

Hi cardies, we’re doing a fundraiser, or ‘the Great newCardigan September Donation Drive’ to use its full name. We haven’t run a fundraiser in almost four years. We’ve drawn down our funds, reduced our costs, and relied on a small number of regular and ad-hoc donors – thank you, we appreciate you a lot! However, we need to keep newCardigan solvent, meaning we need your help to keep going for another year.
We’re also revamping our Discord server to foster more discussion and sharing. Alissa has all the details for you.

Episodes 101 to 103
In this episode of cardiCast – the first in a three-part series on “mammoth moves” – Neville Quick, Manager Collection Storage and Logistics at Museums Victoria, talks Mammoth collection storage moves, on the scale of moving an entire museum. Nev is well respected in the museum sector, working in collection storage and logistics for 30 years. There is not much he hasn’t experienced or skill sets he hasn’t acquired in the course of his work, so it was interesting to ask Nev if he ever encountered something he could not move. He also has many words of wisdom about maintaining a positive attitude and calm outlook when dealing with stressful problems encountered with large scale projects. Please note this interview was recorded before the Merri-Bek collection storage flood.

Annual reports exist from 2018. Prior to 2017-18 newCardigan was not an incorporated association, which is probably how it should have stayed.
