The Mukurtu Archive
An Indigenous Archive Tool
The Mukurtu Wumpurrarni-kari Archive is a browser-based digital
archive created by the Warumungu community in Tennant
Creek, N.T. Australia in collaboration with researchers
Kimberly Christen,
Craig Dietrich,
Chris Cooney, and Tim Dietrich.
The archive, housed at the
Nyinkka Nyunyu Art and Culture Centre, contains
photos, digital video clips, audio files, and digital
reproductions of cultural artifacts and documents. The content in the archive
is defined by access parameters based on a set of Warumungu cultural
protocols for the viewing and distribution of cultural knowledge. These
protocols provide the basis for the archive's internal logic and architecture.
This website provides information about the archive, its production,
technical specifications and future directions.
