E-BOOKS<\/h2>\n

The Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages website has\u00a0enabled many people to access stories in many languages. Another important aspect of this collection is that it has rescued books that were\u00a0endangered – some books were deteriorating over time, and some were thrown away on the rubbish heap by someone who had no idea of the value of them, and therefore lost forever.<\/p>\n

Digital technology creates opportunities to bring new life to these old stories, by combining audio, text and image to create interactive multimedia objects.<\/p>\n
