Australian and New Zealand
Society of Indexers (ANZSI)

About the Society

ANZSI was first established as the Australian Society of Indexers (AusSI) in 1976, becoming the Australian and New Zealand Society of Indexers (ANZSI) in 2005. It is a non-profit organization incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Vic). Membership is open to people and institutions engaged in indexing, and to others interested in promoting the aims of the Society. ANZSI members are typically freelance indexers who also do editing, proofreading and some library and allied work.

The main aims of ANZSI are to:

· raise awareness of the value of indexers, indexing and indexes and provide advice to authors, editors and publishers

· improve the quality of indexing in Australia and New Zealand

· promote the training, continuing professional development, status and interests of Australian and New Zealand indexers

. provide opportunities for the exchange of information and experiences relating to all aspects of indexing

· publish and disseminate information in accord with the foregoing aims.

Indexers Available

Looking for an indexer? Indexers Available is a directory of indexers with competence in a range of subject specialities, including Accredited Indexers, whose work has been assessed as competent by an ANZSI panel of experts against standard criteria for indexing and accepted indexing practices.
