Reading Writing Lives: Publishing & Preserving Australian Literary Archives

在20世纪的最后几十年，由于澳大利亚艺术委员会文学委员会的成立，澳大利亚作家有可能拥有重要的职业生涯。这个项目将揭示澳大利亚作家雪莉·哈扎德和伊丽莎白·哈罗之间的通信，以及哈扎德和美国学者唐纳德·基恩之间这些年的通信。它将揭示这一历史时期，以及作家的职业生涯是如何蓬勃发展的，因为它第一次获得了这些新信息。它将出版两本关于作家书信的书，两次关于作家档案和图书馆的展览，以及几篇学术和面向公众的论文，以使广大读者能够接触到这些新知识。

In the last decades of the twentieth century, it became possible for Australian writers to have significant careers thanks to the establishment of the Literature Board of the Australia Council for the Arts. This project will bring to light the correspondence between Australian authors Shirley Hazzard and Elizabeth Harrower and between Hazzard and US scholar Donald Keene through these years. It will throw light on this historical period and how writers’ careers flourished, as it accesses this new information for the first time. It will produce two books of writers' correspondence, two exhibitions of writers' archives and libraries, and several scholarly and public-facing essays to make this new knowledge accessible to a broad audience.
