The Future of SAGE
The Collections Council of Australia is pleased to advise that the Powerhouse Museum has agreed to receive from the Council a copy of the SAGE database, with the intention of continuing to develop and update this resource, and to republish it in the future. Further announcements about the future of SAGE will come from the Powerhouse Museum rather than from the Collections Council.
