Session 1.4 - The diversity of contexts: colonisation, languages and geography as barriers to access William Magarey East, Adelaide Oval (Australia) 00:00:00 - 00:14:56 a. Decolonising the archives, language as enablers and barriers to accessing public archives in South Africa Presentation Slides: https://www.archivists.org.au/documen... Isabel Schellnack-Kelly Access to public archives in South Africa, whether it is the diaries of Jan van Riebeeck to the oral history projects with communities in and around the South African national game parks, are problematic if the user or researcher is unable to read or interpret the language. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the challenges public archives encounter when confronting languages as enablers of access to public archives. 00:14:57 - 00:37:35 b. The repatriation of historical records from Kiribati to Tuvalu: Indigenous priorities and self determination in action at the Tuvalu National Library and Archive Presentation Slides: https://www.archivists.org.au/documen... Presentation Slides: https://www.archivists.org.au/documen... Kylie Moloney - Noa Petueli Tapumanaia This paper will describe the repatriation of colonial records from Kiribati to Tuvalu. It will highlight some of the challenges and positive outcomes of the physical repatriation of records back to the indigenous people of Tuvalu. 00:37:36 - 01:07:26 c. Reconstituting "the archives of silence": how to “recreate” slavery and slave trade archives Presentation Slides: https://www.archivists.org.au/documen... Louis Gilles Pairault Records of the slave trade are almost exclusively those of the slave-traders: the silence of the victims is deafening. Using the example of the memoirs of Claude-Vincent Polony, and one of the very few slave testimonials, the paper sets out to consider the value of these sources in an attempt to “fill in the missing gaps” in the story of the slaves of the time and reconstitute a sort of communal archive of these victims. 01:07:27 - 01:13:48 d. Questions Designing the Archive was an international archives conference presented by the Australian Society of Archivists (ASA), Archives and Records Association of New Zealand Te Huinga Mahara (ARANZ), the International Council on Archives (ICA) and the Pacific Regional Branch International Council on Archives (PARBICA). It was held at the Adelaide Oval from 21 - 25 October 2019. Info: https://www.archivists.org.au/confere...
