To celebrate a history of working people in Australia it was proposed that a museum might be built in Canberra where historical items and iconography from all around the country could be displayed, in one central location. The journal 'Now and Then' was developed in 2010 to support the campaign, launched by UnionsACT in 2009, for the establishment of this National Museum of Labour. The museum never eventuated. The journal ceased in 2014.
