Goldfields Aboriginal Languages Archives

The Goldfields Aboriginal Language Centre has developed an archives for endangered literature related to the Aboriginal languages of the Goldfields region. This material is held in filing cabinets at the GALC office and is also uploaded to a digital archives.

GALC is working to provide the public with access to the digital archives. In the near future, members of the public will be able to look through the archives at a computer in the front office of the GALC office.

Material deposited can be used by GALC linguists in language studies or for other research related to the languages. Depositors are contacted in these instances.



Preserving Endangered Language Material

The archives preserve endangered language material such as old newspaper clippings, linguists papers, home made language books, school language resources and such material to ensure the material is not lost and is available for future language speakers and learners.
