At the beginning of the project, we had many thousand of photographs of various formats, hundreds of hours of film and sound, documents, books, magazines, diaries and artworks both 2D and 3D. Yami Lester 28 February These goals are achieved through a custom designed user-friendly computer software program called the Keeping Culture KMS, which is responsive to Indigenous cultural protocols if there is a need.

Aboriginal communities in Central Australia see A r a Irititja as one of the principal means of preserving and transferring knowledge from generation to generation, into the future. Our A n angu from APY Land never used to want to look at their photos of family members who had passed away. Today is so different, as we all travel around in cars, or on the Bush Bus. A r a Irititja project demonstrates a successful, creative use of information and communication technology.

I think A r a Irititja has got a lot of that already, and that is a good thing. This approach facilitates cross-referencing between the items in the physical and virtual collections. I support A r a Irititja. It is a good thing.

And not only that, but Aboriginal cultural business too, through the anthropologists, from their work with the Land Rights. A r a Irititja shows the children how A n angu used to live, and how my own grandmother used to live. They are looking forward to getting photos from A r a Irititja.

It also has provision for people to make short annotations in either text, audio or movie, in real-time, directly into the archive, talking and telling stories about any item they are viewing or directly into their own raa and family profiles. In effect it is a virtual museum with a section irifitja each of the separate media types. They are gathering materials, and they are very good with the people, and putting the stories away and locking them away safely. As with archival storage folders and cabinets of the physical collection, the database storage is divided into irititna sections — Photos, Documents, Movies, Sounds and Objects.

The project was established to repatriate to remote Aboriginal communities in Central Australia, historical and contemporary photos, movies and other multimedia materials and to support the maintenance and intergenerational transfer of Aboriginal cultural information, traditional ecological knowledge, family and community history and language.

The main aim of the corporation is to safeguard the longevity of the Ara Irititja Project. The archive is currently custodiaon to overrecords. It's key objectives are to: And A r a Irititja helps riititja people out really well, really good.

It is good for keeping Anangu stories safe and protected, and I think it is very, very good. But when A r a Irititja started up, A n angu want to look at photos of their tjamu, mama, ngunytju and kuntili. If I had the money I would like to give thousands of dollars to help A r a Irititja keep going, and keep getting A n angu stories. It also enables the user-friendly interface to present the collection within a simple numerical catalogue framework and thus simplifies both the research and data entry processes.

One of the earliest challenges was to locate archaic machines to operate the historic sound and film footage in order to begin the digitisation process. Local languages not only instruct the user within the software interface but also abound in both spoken and written form in audio recordings such as oral histories, songs, meetingstranscriptions, films, documents and books.

They are doing a very good job.

A r a Irititja is a community-based, multimedia digital archive, designed at the request of Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara A n angu communities.

Unlike many contemporary knowledge bases, the design of the original A r a Irititja software was media driven.
