Indigenous Collections and Knowledge Archives Research Network

我们将开发一个正在进行的跨学科研究人员网络（博物馆研究人员，人类学家，艺术史学家，音乐学家，语言学家）与土著收藏（人种学，人类学，美术）和知识档案（声音，电影，摄影和印刷）。该网络将创建一个特殊的研究资源，并促进持有机构，研究人员和当地土著社区之间的沟通。以及促进纯粹的研究（如。记录材料，调查记忆系统和文化变革过程）该项目将在社区发展中发挥重要作用（e。G.将图像和信息送回土著社区将造福当代人，并满足社会、情感和智力需求）。

We will develop an ongoing inter-disciplinary network of researchers (museum researchers, anthropologists, art historians, musicologists, linguists) working with Indigenous collections (ethnographic, anthropological, fine art) and knowledge archives (sound, film, photographic and print). The network will create an exceptional research resource, and facilitate communication between holding institutions, researchers and local Indigenous communities. As well as facilitating pure research (eg. documenting the material, investigating memory systems and processes of cultural change) the project will play a significant role in community development (e. g. repatriation of images and information to Indigenous communities will benefit present generations and fulfil social, emotional and intellectual needs).
