So last week we introduced you to the bicultural way we frame our work and values at Tāmaki Paenga Hira… We work in a complex bicultural landscape, and navigating it from within a colonial institution is a journey in itself. @aucklandmuseum is supported by the Taumata-ā-Iwi (Māori Committee) who provide cultural safety to our staff and the taonga in our care: aucklandmuseum.com/your-museum/ab…

1/ Hi everyone! Today we’re going to take a bit of time to talk more about protocols, permissions and some Indigenous-led projects and resources relevant to the #GLAM sphere. And we’re going to start talking about #metadata! 2/ As we’ve mentioned, in many Indigenous knowledge systems, a person’s right to access certain information (especially traditional knowledge and customs) may be bound by specific, contextual permissions. #OpenGLAM

1/ Happy Wednesday afternoon @OpenGLAM community! Today we're hoping to talk a little more about the L and the A in #GLAM: #Archives and #Libraries and some of their experiences with #OpenAccess re. Indigenous materials and belongings :) 2/ #Openness & #access are inseparable & access is a core value of librarianship & the archival profession. In both the American Library Association @ALALibrary Core Values & Int'l Federation of Library Associations & Institutions @IFLA Code of Ethics access is @ the forefront.
