A modest idea can achieve extraordinary results where there is vision and resolve. This was the case with the Lu Rees Archives of Australian Children’s Literature. In 2011, an external expert assessed the significance of the Archives, reporting that in its 40-year existence, ‘it has established a firm reputation among researchers, students, bibliographers, librarians and the general public as one of the most important collections of children’s literature in Australia’ (Powell, 2011, p.1).
