Archiving an academic legacy
The Halliday and Hasan Archive project
Michael Halliday’s and Ruqaiya Hasan’s estates have been found
to include a large amount of unpublished materials: draft papers, research
notes, photographs, comments on student papers and so on. They comprise
important elements of their legacy and a potential research resource. In this
paper we outline a project to preserve and digitise these materials and to make
them readily available internationally. The project is being carried out under
the auspices of, and with the support of, the Australian Systemic Functional
Linguistics Association Inc. (ASFLA).
