Funded Activity Summary

Trust and Technology: Building archival systems for Indigenous oral memory. Although oral memory is highly valued by Indigenous people, to date there has been no extensive effort by Australian archival services to discover how to capture it and make it accessible to the relevant communities. Supported by the Public Record Office of Victoria and Koorie partners, this project will undertake an extensive analysis of Indigenous needs in order to develop trust and understanding of key issues such as access to archives, intellectual property and authenticity. Archival techniques and information technology will then be used to build a prototype of a trusted archival system for oral Indigenous memory, emphasising preservation and access.
