Our Way: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Protocols

Abstract

For more than 20 years, in consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, National Archives has offered tailored services to assist Indigenous Australians to access the national archival collection for a range of purposes, including to link up with family and community. Our exhibition, education, events, publishing and digital-engagement programs develop understanding and respect through the sharing of voices, stories and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Building on well-established relationships, the "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Strategy, 2017–2021" reflects National Archives’ commitment to broaden and strengthen its capacity to engage with, and meet the needs of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients.
