The AEAF archive is a collection of material from 35 years of ephemeral art practice in Australia. Enquiries about the archives are most welcome.

 

material archive

The aeaf has substantial holdings of slides, vhs video, publications, publicity related to events at the aeaf, and small press publications, produced in-house by the aeaf and others.

digital archive

The Foundation has been online as eaf.asn.au from 1997 - 2009. Pre-notice and often documentation of exhibitions and events including talks, symposiums, workshops and publications provide an invaluable record of not only the events but also the changing styles, roles and useages of the internet in a visual art org context.

artist's book collection

The aeaf has a small collection of rare artist's books, many by fluxus artists from australia, and the US. The collection was originally donated by inaugural director Noel Sheridan.

 

The collection is not currently available to the public but interested researchers with a specific focus are welcome to contact the aeaf to discuss access. The highly prized collection is in need of a sponsor to allow wider access to this important resource.
