Courts produce records that outlive the cases in which they were created. This collection examines what happens when those records become archives, considering their value for legal history, public memory and citizenship alongside the practical conditions governing preservation and access.
Contributors discuss Australian court institutions, royal commissions, High Court correspondence, war crimes proceedings and native title records. Comparative chapters address court archives in Massachusetts and appraisal practices in Canada and Australia. Interviews and case studies show the work of archivists, registrars and researchers, including the tensions between making records available and protecting the people represented in them. The volume includes references and institutional perspectives.
