journal.Winner of the Australian Society of Archivists Mander Jones
Award Place-based cultural knowledge - of ceremonies, songs,
stories, language, kinship and ecology - binds Australian
Indigenous societies together. Over the last 100 years or so,
records of this knowledge in many different formats -
audiocassettes, photographs, films, written texts, maps, and
digital recordings - have been accumulating at an ever-increasing
rate. Yet this extensive documentary heritage is dispersed. In many
cases, the Indigenous people who participated in the creation of
the records, or their descendants, have little idea of where to
find the records or how to access them. Some records are held
precariously in ad hoc collections, and their caretakers may be
perplexed as to how to ensure that they are looked after.Archival
Returns: Central Australia and Beyond explores the strategies and
practices by which cultural heritage materials can be returned to
their communities of origin, and the issues this process raises for
communities, as well as for museums, galleries, and other cultural
institutions.
