Our members initiated an online resource list: Centering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices in GLAM to highlight, and support greater citation of, the important and valuable work undertaken by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the archival, and broader GLAM sector in Australia. The list is a living resource, and people are invited to add resources in all forms (blogs, articles, podcasts, websites, etc.).
