History

On 20 August 1937, a meeting of 55 librarians at the Albert Hall in Canberra formed the Australian Institute of Librarians in response to the Munn-Pitt survey.[1] The foundation president was William Herbert Ifould, the Principal Librarian at the Public Library of New South Wales.[2][3] John Metcalfe, Deputy Principal Librarian at the Public Library of New South Wales was the first honorary general secretary and drafted much of the original constitution.[4][5]

In 1949, the institute changed its name to the Library Association of Australia, and was renamed again 1989 to its current name of the Australian Library and Information Association and a permanent office was established in Canberra.[1]

The Archives section, which had existed between 1951 and 1973, became the Australian Society of Archivists in 1975.[6]

Governance and description

The Association is governed by a constitution and a board of directors who are voted on by members for two year terms.[1]
