This is a collaborative project between IPRIA and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.
One of the main outputs of this project is a legal primer directed to cultural institutions that hold Indigenous cultural materials: 'Cultural Institutions, Law and Indigenous Knowledge: A Legal Primer on the Management of Australian Indigenous Collections', by Emily Hudson.
