WIMBLEDON, England As the top-seeded Ashleigh Barty looked forward to Wimbledon this year, she also looked back half a century. To another Indigenous woman from Australia. To a groundbreaking Wimbledon title. And, ultimately, to a hemline.
Sensitivity of media
The sensitivity of media to light and the subsequent fading of the colours in a collection item is one of the factors considered when establishing the acceptable amount of light exposure for a collection item.
The use of the ISO rating, or Blue Wool (BW) Standard, enables a comparison of the fading that occurs to various types of media. BW 1 is the most responsive to light (meaning it fades the quickest); BW 2 is approximately half as responsive as BW1; and so on to BW 8 which is the least responsive. The media used in collections can be broadly grouped using their likely responsiveness to light. For example pristine condition watercolours are categorised as BW1 items. They will fade very quickly when exposed to light.

The Library seeks to build a significant and sustainable philanthropic revenue stream to digitise the most important, impactful and unique areas of its collection, and to make them accessible to Australians everywhere through Trove. The Treasured Voices campaign will ensure a truly national library that removes geographical, economic and other barriers, and connects all Australians with their stories.
The Australian Government is supporting this ambition by providing $10 million over four years starting from 2019–20 to leverage philanthropic contributions.
Challenges to the Library’s aim to connect with many communities include:
• increasing community expectations about the volume of collection material that can be delivered online and free of charge
