In an annual initiative to ensure Australian cultural identity, APRA AMCOS and the National and Film and Sound Archive have teamed up to create a new initiative, the National Songbook that honours the great Australian songwriters and their contribution to cultural identity. The first ten songs have been selected for the Songbook and I asked the National Film and Sound Archive’s Lorna Clarkson how this initiative will work to preserve the cultural memory of greatest songs?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders listeners are advised that this podcast contains voices and names of people who have passed away. 

The Australian Film and Sound Archive's National Soundbook website contains recordings of all the songs, and interviews with many of the artists and songwriters.
