The digitisation of government material and its provision online is progressing well.
However, in the course of publishing a book 1890s Annandale: A short Walk (more about the book at http://ramin.com.au/walks/1890s-short-walk.shtml) recently, I experienced a diversity of responses to the reproduction and of images on websites, in E-Books and printed books.
An Action Plan for the Harmonisation of policies for the use of Digital images across agencies at all levels of government would be useful.
Online publication of commissioned heritage studies for government projects, as a matter of course, would also be useful.
The National Library of Australia has provided invaluable leadership in this space. Trove and its predecessor Newspapers online provide great insight into the past.
The NSW State Library’s release of images through Creative Commons License recently is also commendable and provided useful material in enhancing the Annandale to Circular Quay, Sydney walk with historic images. Walk is available here http://ramin.com.au/annandale/annandale-to-sydney.shtml
