Canberra Times reports<\/a> his widow Maree Dunn, handed over Agro this week, joined by Peter Clay, Dunn\u2019s good friend and producer.<\/p>\n\u201cWe did speak to a couple of other museums but when we spoke to the staff here, they were very warm. It\u2019s very hard to let him go, I feel like I\u2019m letting a part of Jamie go,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe staff here [at the National Film and Sound Archive] were just so lovely and assured us this would be his new home.\u201d<\/p>\n
National Film and Sound Archive senior curator Tenille Hands said, \u201cOur conservators and our exhibitions team are going to work to keep Agro front and centre of our exhibitions spaces.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s such a privilege to have Agro join our collections. He\u2019s so integral to both our television and radio exhibitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur conservators haven\u2019t done their assessment yet but they will take their time with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was also important for us to share with Maree that this would be Agro\u2019s home and we will make sure he will live on for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n
