| Abstract: | There is enormous interest in Arnhem Land about the region's recorded history. In recent years, the return of digital materials from collections worldwide has become a significant and efficacious strategy for supporting cultural survival there. The sense of history that these materials bring is proving invaluable in maintaining well-being and community in Arnhem Land amid the hardships of local life. This lecture presents early research on the ARC project currently being led by Neparrŋa Gumbula to explore rare Yolŋu materials from Arnhem Land dating from the 1920s that are held in the University of Sydney Archives, and to assess their significance to contemporary Yolŋu communities and the broader public. |
