Abstract

Using selected extracts from the newsletter of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers (ANZSI), Madeleine Davis traces the history of the Society, focusing in particular on the first 20 years. In addition to charting developments in indexing practices reflected in newsletter articles (notably the increasing use of computers), she highlights major milestones in the development of the Society, such as the publication of the first newsletter and the first survey of indexers in Australia, and honours the committed indexers who established the Society and contributed to its growth over the years.
