Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Special Interest Group

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Special Interest Group was established in 1998. The SIG holds regular meetings at the ASA National Conference. A newsletter is produced with contributions welcome from members.

In 1997 the ASA released its Policy Statement on Archival Services and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

In 2004, with the support of the Records Management Association of Australasia, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander SIG produced the brochure Pathways to your future and our past: careers for Indigenous People in archives and records.

Information about upcoming SIG events is posted to the Events page, as well as sent directly to SIG members.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander SIG helps coordinate the Loris Williams Memorial Fund for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, professionals, and researchers in the archival and records management profession and the Loris Williams Memorial Lecture, held annually at the ASA Conference.
