'This paper presents the main findings of an Australian Research Council Linkage Research Project, Trust and Technology: Building Archival Systems for Indigenous Oral Memory, against the background of a renewed national energy for reconciliation in Australia, and with reference to Indigenous human rights and how related charters and protocols relate to archival sources of Indigenous knowledge in Australia. It concludes by proposing an action agenda to guide a response by the Australian archival profession. The paper is based on a presentation to the joint ASA (Australian Society of Archivists)/ARANZ (Archives and Records Association of New Zealand)/PARBICA (Pacific Regional Branch International Council on Archives) Conference, Voyaging Together: Memory, Integrity, Sustainability, held in Brisbane in October 2009.'
