This significant project involved the establishment of a new facility on the lower level of the Woolhouse Library at Waite Campus. Over 25,000 boxes of temporary and permanent files, as well as the bulk of the University Archives collection, were transferred to Waite during February and March this year. Importantly, restrictions on access to the records were kept to a minimum and business has now returned to normal.
