Craft Australia has received a 2007 Community Heritage Grant of $10,000 from the National Library of Australia to assist with the digitisation of the Craft Australia Slide Collection.

The Craft Australia Slide Collection comprises over 17,000 images of artists’ work from the 1970s onwards. This grant will allow Craft Australia to commence the digitisation of a selection of this slide material in accordance with the recommendations of the Significance Assessment undertaken this year with previous funding from the National Library of Australia. It is Craft Australia’s longer-term aim to digitise the bulk of the Slide Collection and to make this digitised material accessible online for the use of collectors, scholars and curators.
