2025 Update

We are immensely proud to be able to announce that the Halliday & Hasan Archive will be going to the National Library of Australia. The first 19 archive boxes have been delivered to the National Library and the collection has been assigned an accession number (MS Acc25.111). A full record will appear on the NLA’s online catalogue when the acquisition is finalised and processing work complete:https://catalogue.nla.gov.au.

Fundraising efforts have seen another $995 donated to the Working Group funds from the participants at the 2025 ASFLA Conference in Adelaide. We have also received further funding from ASFLA INC to be able to continue with the digitisation of archival materials.

We are immensely grateful for the generous donations from everyone within the SFL community.

What you can do to help

Please make a donation today to support this cause and help the archive to achieve the objective of making the unpublished materials of Halliday and Hasan accessible to the wider world. Your generosity will make a difference to preserving the legacies of these two giants of linguistics. We welcome donations both in Australian dollars and in other currencies from international donors. Please follow the relevant section below:

Donations made within Australia (Using AUD$)

In order to minimise the fees and costs in establishing a donations portal, we ask that people with an Australian bank account make a direct credit to the ASFLA Archive Fund bank account, and to record your donation in the Donation Tracker form below.

Account Name: Australian Systemic Functional Linguistics Association BSB: 082-021 Acc. No: 937922194 Branch Address: Tenancy 20C 1 Bay Street, Ultimo, NSW, Australia, 2007 Swift Code: NATAAU3303M

This means that if you are donating from an Australian bank account 100% of your donation will go towards the archiving project. [Please note that ASFLA is not registered for DGR status, so this means that donations to the H&H Archive Fund are not tax deductible in Australia.]

We invite international donations to be made either using a transnational bank account (e.g. Wise) directly to the account above, or via our PayPal account, using the donate button here which will take you directly to PayPal.

Once you have made your donation to the above bank account (or PayPal), we request that you complete the following Donation Tracker form for our record keeping.Unfortunately, we are unable to make the process fully anonymous, but the identity of donors will only be known to members of the Working Group responsible for the collection of funds and account keeping.

Thank you for supporting this important work.

We aim to provide regular updates on how the funds have been used, via the ASFLA Newsletter, the Halliday & Hasan Archive Project page, and a full financial report will be submitted annually to the ASFLA AGM.
