Got 60 seconds to spare? Check out our social media strategy
Brainstorming has become second nature for us in recent weeks. Starting with our Top 5 Reasons Why Archives Are Awesome we found we were on a roll and continued to ‘storm’, much to the chagrin of other staff.

Our blog is part of several Web 2.0 initiatives at State Records NSW and this strategy may become the basis for the others. It is very basic, only three points and only 60 seconds long.
Our three-point strategy is The Three Cs:
- Create
- Connect
- Collaborate.

Update: Your name in lights – see the stars!
We asked if you had photos (or other information) to contribute that would complement the current content and as a result get your name in lights. It turns out light bulbs have been very effective for this particular mission. We have been delighted with the response and impressed with your efforts!
