Simon Underschultz Email & Phone Number

I am an experienced archivist with a demonstrated history of working in the GLAM sector. While studying my Graduate Diploma in Records Management and Archives, I interned at the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra. I have written for Art Libraries Journal (UK) and presented talks at the Australian Society of Archivists 2017 and 2022 conferences and the Arlis/ANZ 2018 and 2020 conferences. I also co-wrote a chapter for the 2021 publication The New Art Museum Library, titled ‘Ephemeral Survival: Managing Physical and Digital Artist File Collections’. In my current role as Archivist at the National Gallery of Australia, I assess, acquire, organize, preserve, maintain, and provide access to the Gallery's art archives and special collections, answer reference questions and catalogue material to RDA standard. My background is in philosophy and film studies. My interests include movies, books, and writing horror stories—hoping one day to become a published fiction writer!
