Brief description 'To wake them up again': Digital futures for the international diaspora of early ethnographic collections from Arnhem Land. Informed by the Indigenous inheritors of Arnhem Land's endangered languages and traditions, this project will produce findings of world-heritage significance that will inform the importance of early ethnographic collections held in museums worldwide to well-being and cultural survival in our local communities. There is enormous local interest in our region's recorded history. In recent years, the return of digitised materials from significant ethnographic collections has helped to stimulate the on-going maintenance of our cultures markedly. The sense of history that they bring is proving invaluable in maintaining well-being and community amid the hardships of local life, and in particular, in stimulating youth engagement with tradition.
