First Nations Community Access to Archives

We acknowledge the incredible work that local communities are doing to reclaim and revitalise First Nations languages across NSW. In support of this work, MHNSW, in partnership with the Aboriginal Languages Trust, has begun an exciting initiative to unearth First Nations language, culture and heritage materials in the State Archives Collection, and prepare these for community access. Join the team in deep listening to learn more about the project's journey of storytelling, truth-telling and revitalisation.
