Studies of Indigenous heritage places

Indigenous culture should be respected at all times in the study of Indigenous heritage places.

When you collect information that touches on Indigenous heritage places, ensure that Indigenous communities are centrally involved in decisions such as:

  • whether the study should be undertaken
  • how it should be undertaken
  • who should be involved
  • how the results should be presented
  • how sensitive information will be treated
  • what happens to the results of the study
  • who controls or manages what comes out of the study.

The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies in Canberra can provide advice on many aspects of Indigenous heritage studies, and they have an extensive library, as well as programs for Indigenous people. They can be contacted at GPO Box 533, Canberra, ACT, 2601. Phone (02) 6246 1111.

Specific information on bibliographic resources on Indigenous heritage is also available on a CD-ROM called ATSIROM, available from RMIT Publishing GPO Box, 12477, A'Beckett Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3001. Phone (03) 9349 4994.
