Works about this Work

Linguists Digitise 1970s Children's Storybooks to Help Preserve Indigenous Languages Jesse Thompson , 2017 single work column
— Appears in: ABC News [Online] , October 2017;

'Few people involved in the Indigenous language storybook programs of the 1970s could have realised how precious the books would be decades later.' 
Towards a Unique Archive of Aboriginal Languages: A Collaborative Project Jayshree Mamtora , Catherine Bow , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association , April vol. 66 no. 1 2017; (p. 28-41) 'Charles Darwin University Library is directly helping to sustain and preserve Aboriginal language and cultural materials that encounter many hurdles for their long-term survival. The library is supporting an ARC-funded project known as the Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages, by providing a repository, web application, digitisation programme and professional advice. The collaboration between the library and research team addressed a number of challenges in relation to appropriate ways to represent complex and variable metadata, widely varying content from diverse sources and in various conditions, and in making these fragile and endangered materials accessible to a global audience. The open access archive now includes thousands of items in dozens of Northern Territory Indigenous languages, providing a sustainable repository for researchers and allowing Indigenous communities to share their languages, histories, knowledge and practices around the world. The project serves as a rich case study demonstrating how academic libraries can work with researchers to support the archiving of cultural heritage.' (Publication abstract)
Using Authentic Language Resources to Incorporate Indigenous Knowledges across the Australian Curriculum Catherine Bow , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Learning Communities : International Journal of Learning in Social Contexts , no. 20 2016; (p. 20-39)

'The promotion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures as a cross-curriculum priority in the new Australian Curriculum provides both a challenge and an opportunity for teachers and teacher educators. The Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages contains authentic language materials which can assist in resourcing and supporting teachers to meet this challenge across all areas of the curriculum, and to encourage connections with Indigenous cultural authorities.'

Towards a Unique Archive of Aboriginal Languages: A Collaborative Project Jayshree Mamtora , Catherine Bow , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association , April vol. 66 no. 1 2017; (p. 28-41) 'Charles Darwin University Library is directly helping to sustain and preserve Aboriginal language and cultural materials that encounter many hurdles for their long-term survival. The library is supporting an ARC-funded project known as the Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages, by providing a repository, web application, digitisation programme and professional advice. The collaboration between the library and research team addressed a number of challenges in relation to appropriate ways to represent complex and variable metadata, widely varying content from diverse sources and in various conditions, and in making these fragile and endangered materials accessible to a global audience. The open access archive now includes thousands of items in dozens of Northern Territory Indigenous languages, providing a sustainable repository for researchers and allowing Indigenous communities to share their languages, histories, knowledge and practices around the world. The project serves as a rich case study demonstrating how academic libraries can work with researchers to support the archiving of cultural heritage.' (Publication abstract)
