The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) is the custodian of the national audiovisual collection including significant First Nations film, video and audio recordings that are representative of culture, language, ceremony, story and song.
This strategy outlines our intentions, and most importantly how we are going to take a cultural approach to collaboration – interweaving audiovisual archiving best practice with First Nations knowledge. There is a lot of work to do.
In our First Nations Engagement Strategy 2025–28, we have highlighted the areas of focus for us and how these will inform our existing work as we continue to embed First Nations perspectives into our everyday archiving and business-as-usual activities. We’ve included a selection of case studies to highlight the type of successful outcomes we will be striving to deliver.
