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:

Promoting awareness of indexing as a profession among the general public, and especially among publishers and ICT-firms in the Netherlands.
Promoting contacts between indexers in the Netherlands and abroad, and liaising with relevant organizations in the Netherlands.
Promoting the quality of indexing in the Netherlands by offering workshops, conferences, mutual learning, mentoring schemes etc.

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.
