Storytelling photographs, animating anangu: how Ara Irititja - an Indigenous digital archive in central Australia - facilitates cultural reproduction
This report arises from research conducted for the ARC LP (130100733), Aboriginal
young people in Victoria and Digital Storytelling. It responds to the increasing
use of digital technologies to provide access to all kinds of information that
reside in collecting institutions, which relates specifically to Indigenous people,
their culture and heritage. While individual collecting institutions have their
own policies, procedures and protocols concerning access and distribution of
digitised material, there remain many new avenues for consideration regarding
the production and control of digital content. This is particularly the case with
respect to the explosion of digital-born material (such as the digital stories made
by Aboriginal young people for the ARC LP) and how it is collected and managed
now and into the future.
Here, we discuss the management and use of digital collections in relation to the
experiences of curators, collections managers, archivists, production managers
and librarians, including members of the Aboriginal community in southeast
Australia, who currently work in collecting institutions or with digital
collections. We highlight their concerns and ambitions as we seek to understand
how the current suite of collection policies and protocols contributes to new and
progressive approaches to the care of these collections.
