Funded Activity Summary

Developing a prototype multi-institutional search engine for Australian Indigenous collections. We will investigate technical and cultural issues, and identify an optimal model for developing a multi-institutional search engine for Australian Indigenous collections. This will be achieved through the development of a prototype search engine linking two Australian museum collections. Current digital models for managing and accessing materials in multiple formats (audio, film, photographic and print materials) will be investigated, and a set of cultural protocols developed for a subset of materials from one geographical area. Such an online research tool has the potential to facilitate research across disciplines, encourage collaborations between cultural institutions, and re-connect Indigenous communities with collections.
