'To wake them up again': Digital futures for the international diaspora of early ethnographic collections from Arnhem Land

由阿纳姆地濒危语言和传统的土著继承人告知，该项目将产生具有世界遗产意义的发现，这些发现将告知世界各地博物馆中早期民族志收藏品对我们当地社区的福祉和文化生存的重要性。当地人对我们地区有记载的历史非常感兴趣。近年来，重要民族志收藏的数字化材料的回归有助于促进对我们文化的持续维护。他们带来的历史感在当地生活的艰苦中维持福祉和社区方面，特别是在激励青年参与传统方面，证明是非常宝贵的。

Informed by the Indigenous inheritors of Arnhem Land's endangered languages and traditions, this project will produce findings of world-heritage significance that will inform the importance of early ethnographic collections held in museums worldwide to well-being and cultural survival in our local communities. There is enormous local interest in our region's recorded history. In recent years, the return of digitised materials from significant ethnographic collections has helped to stimulate the on-going maintenance of our cultures markedly. The sense of history that they bring is proving invaluable in maintaining well-being and community amid the hardships of local life, and in particular, in stimulating youth engagement with tradition.
