The first is to reflect on a re-usable model to support Indigenous rights in records internationally. The second is to provide a specific example of a collaborative space between Italian institutions and Aboriginal professionals and Community members. By adopting a platform specially designed for the respectful access and management of Indigenous content,\u00a0this research project wants to open up a transnational space of dialogue where Aboriginal voices and aspirations are centred.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5><strong>Values<\/strong><\/h5><p>This study<em>\u00a0<\/em>is grounded in the values of\u00a0Relational Accountability,\u00a0Reciprocity and\u00a0Respect, and in recognition of the importance of deep listening and learning. Everyone engaging with this project will be required to account for the following\u00a0values:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Relational Accountability\u00a0= committing\u00a0to learning and deep listening and honouring a relational process based on mutual trust, cooperation, and transparency about the process and the outcomes.<\/li><li>Reciprocity\u00a0= committing\u00a0to give back knowledge and provide a safe space for response and storytelling where all voices are valued.<\/li><li>Respect =<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>committing to support Aboriginal sovereignty and international awareness of Aboriginal rights in displaced records and the vibrancy and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><strong>Process<\/strong><\/h5><p>The work for this project starts through conversation and consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander professionals working in the library and archives sector, Italian institutions, and European researchers. In collaboration with the Italian partner institutions, I search and collate archival records and other materials related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples held in their archives. I then upload the documents in the digital archive prototype and translate (from Italian to English) information and resources that can be useful to locate the peoples and places represented in the collection. Attempting to identify and contact the peoples who could be connected to these archives is the next step. What happens next is completely up to the peoples involved in this relationship.<\/p><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><strong>Technology<\/strong><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">To create the digital archive, I adopted a platform specially designed for the respectful access and management of Indigenous content, <a href=\"https:\/\/mukurtu.org\/\">Mukurtu\u00a0<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">[MOOK-oo-too]<\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">I use Mukurtu to make accessible the archival records according to the appropriate cultural protocols, that will be established through consultation.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Noto Sans, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; background-color: #ffffff;\">Mukurtu<\/span><\/span><em style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u202f<\/em><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">is\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">an open-source content management system built with Indigenous communities worldwide to manage and share digital cultural heritage, managed by the Centre for Digital Curation at Washington State University, USA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">I have chosen Mukurtu as a grassroots initiative to empower communities to manage, share, and exchange their digital heritage in culturally relevant and ethically-minded way.
