Digital technologies are transforming how communities access and interact with historical archives, and NSLA libraries are leading important innovations in this area. Join us as we explore the online cultural heritage platforms of Trove (National Library of Australia), DigitalPasifik, and DigitalNZ (National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa).
These platforms provide single access points for individuals, communities, and researchers from any location to access a vast array of digitised archival content. What sets these platforms apart is not just the extensive number of source repositories they provide access to, which collectively house over 14 billion digital items, but their continuous technical evolution.
This webinar will focus on one important technical advancement: empowering communities to undertake community-driven curation of the collections. This includes new platform features that now enable communities to contribute their knowledge and memories to archival records, correct inaccurate information, and curate together specific items from different collections to tell new personal stories through these archives. This process facilitates the creation of new shared histories, helping to build stronger community ownership of these collections, and foster a more inclusive and diverse understanding of the histories of Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
We invite you to join this webinar that will highlight the ongoing efforts of libraries in leading these developments and join the discussion on how these cultural heritage platforms are helping to reimagine community connections to cultural heritage
