Navigating rights and sharing taonga with Gareth Seymour

Date2020-04-23CollectionVideosEventLIANZA WebinarsDuration1:01:09DescriptionWhen the indigenous archiving project in Yellowknife, Canada, digitises its entire collection, they will take steps to identify kaitiaki for the taonga, and the most appropriate ways of sharing the taonga while upholding their integrity and mana.

This webinar will discuss the questions that arise for archival institutions when we consider how we will provide access to taonga that we hold. Who are the rights holders and kaitiaki? How will they agree to share content? How will they decide on restrictions?

How do we display / share / present taonga with the support and clearance of tangata whenua? What are the important considerations?

Gareth Seymour, from Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision, was the 2019 recipient of the Paul Reynolds ‘No Numpties’ Grant enabling him to travel to Canada and discuss Indigenous archiving with key groups in Saskatchewan and North West Territories, Canada.

The grant was established in 2010 from donations made by the National Library of New Zealand, Internet NZ and friends of Paul Reynolds, which are held in trust by LIANZA. The selection panel is made up of representatives from National Library of New Zealand, National Digital Forum and LIANZA.
