I welcome this effort, sort of an Oz style bitsavers.org, more here

PRESERVING OUR DIGITAL HERITAGE

Researchers from Flinders University are on a mission to document
Australia and New Zealand’s digital heritage – from amateur-made
computer games of the 80s to a contemporary software program that
forensically sanitises computers.

The Australasian Heritage Software Database (AHSD) is the first
publicly-compiled record of Australian and New Zealand software
history, documenting programs created for a range of sectors including
the arts, business, banking and defence.

The database contains more than 120 contributions from both
professional and hobbyist software writers so far, while a number of
high-profile institutions such as the National Library of Australia
have also become official supporters of the project.
