FCA: Digitizing the Ian Peter Archive 2024

Wikimedia Foundation

The Ian Peter Archive is a collection of nationally important documents recording a significant time in Australian history. Preserving these documents that chronicle the development of the internet in Australia is crucial for understanding the nation's digital evolution, its extension to Southeast Asia and overall role in global connectivity.

This grant from the APNIC Foundation will enable Wikimedia to work collaboratively with APNIC to curate and maintain this essential historical archive, increase the visibility and reach of the collection, and promote informed research and education worldwide.
