banner1Innovation@CDU Grants Program 2015

This resource is made possible thanks to an Innovations@CDU grant from Charles Darwin University in 2015.

The idea for this resource came from discussions in how the many language materials digitised and uploaded to the Living Archive website might be used in a diverse range of contexts, and how to assist users to respect and maintain the integrity and ownership of the materials.

There is no starting point in this resource as the individual who views and uses it can determine what is relevant and of interest to better understand how to use the materials respectfully and in collaboration with the authors and their families.

The project team was led by Patricia Joy, project officer of the Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages, in collaboration with and many thanks to
