First Nations Community Access to Archives

First Nations Community Access to Archives (FNCAA) project

Deadline: 10am Monday 24 August 2026

This placement is for a student who identifies as First Nations.

The First Nations Community Access to Archives (FNCAA) project, in partnership with the Aboriginal Languages Trust, Australian Museum and State Library of NSW, aims to enhance First Nations access to important archival records that could unlock information about their histories and Languages.

Under direction and supervision from the FNCAA Senior Advisor, the tertiary student will assist in searching the State Archives Collection to identify First Nations Language and Culture. Working within a supportive team, the student will gain valuable experience through assisting with triage and physical page turning of records, data collection, and digitisation of materials to prepare for community access.

Location: Western Sydney Records Centre, Kingswood
