Shaun Angeles, from the Strehlow Research Centre (Alice Springs, NT), talks about his experiences as one of the recipients of the inaugural Indigenous Remote Archival Fellowship in 2015.
The Indigenous Remote Archival Fellowship is a partnership of the Indigenous Remote Communications Association (IRCA), the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS).
The Fellowship is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations developing strategies and structures to archive and preserve cultural heritage materials, particularly in audiovisual formats. Representatives of the successful organisation will travel to Canberra to spend three days at the NFSA and AIATSIS, and take part in a workshop organised in Alice Springs and/or their home community.
