The Ian Peter Archive Project
In 2024, Wikimedia Australia sought to recruit two new short-term staff members to support and deliver the digital preservation of the Ian Peter Archive in a collaborative effort funded by the APNIC Foundation.
The aim of the project is to preserve and make accessible historical documents that highlight the development and impact of the Internet in Australia. The records contained in the Ian Peter Archive provide invaluable insights into the technological advancements, policy development, and collaborative efforts that have shaped Australia's internet infrastructure and governance.
