Language Keepers Conference - Session 8: Returning the Words
from National Library of Australia Hosted by National Library of Australia
Language records are often buried within archival collections, creating many challenges for Indigenous communities in locating and accessing them. This session studies the ways that archive keepers can improve access to their extraordinary resources. PARADISEC Digital Archive (15 mins) Professor Linda Barwick This talk reports on the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC), a collaborative digital archive for research recordings in the Asia Pacific region. Linda will show how PARADISEC makes recordings available to those recorded—and their descendants—through partnerships with local communities, and share examples of how PARADISEC’s work is used in the revitalisation of Indigenous languages. Returning Culture to Country (15 mins) Rebecca Bateman In consultation with community leaders, the National Library has been returning cultural information found in archival records to Indigenous communities. This work requires the development of new protocols and understanding. Rebecca explores what the Library has learned through its work in this space. Discovering First Nations Content in Trove (15 mins) Allison Lubransky-Moy Trove is a place to discover and engage with the many voices that make up our Australian community. In 2019, Trove will introduce a number of significant enhancements to support discovery and access to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander material and ensure the best experience in Trove for First Nations peoples.
