It's a very difficult and confronting symposium. So much to do, I'm taking notes and trying to absorb as much as I can. But it's really hard to do live posting, because I'm concerned that my brevity might miss the necessary nuances, and misrepresent the speakers.

Opeta Alefaio, PhD at ANU, former director National Archives of Fiji.

Highlighted the state of Pacific archives, disinvestment, undervalued, lack of training and career path

Also lack of collected data for UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and SDG. Lack of evidence to support climate change work. Climate funds $10bil but need data and evidence to access it.

Used to have access to Aus/NZ archives leadership, but no longer. Growing gap CAARA vs PARBICA
