Kim is a professional archivist and historian and is the Head of Historical Services for Westpac Group. She contributed to the book produced for the Bank’s 200th Anniversary, and also arranged for the listing of the Bank’s earliest records – dating from 1816 – on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. Kim’s 25-year career has been spent principally in the private sector, with community-based organisations, businesses, religious orders and independent schools.
Kim holds a Bachelor degree in Communications from UTS, and a Master of Information Management from UNSW. She is currently working towards her doctorate at ACU, focussing recordkeeping in the private sector, particularly in relation to the Royal Commission into child sexual abuse. A former President of the Australian Society of Archivists (2006 -2008) and member of the Executive Board of the International Council on Archives (2009 – 2012), Kim was one of the authors of the Universal Declaration on Archives, which was adopted by UNESCO in 2011. A passionate advocate of records, archives and the stories they hold, Kim has also written a number of award-winning publications, including the centenary history of North Sydney Boys’ High School, and In Good Faith: Waverley College and the Great War. She also writes for the profession, with a number of journal articles and industry-standard text books to her credit.
Kim is also proud mother of a 17 year old, and the only daughter of accidental migrants from Germany.
