New Zealand/ Oral HIstories

Hi Alexandra, Looking good so far! Just in case you are in need of references, I came across a couple of articles that might be useful. Rob mentioned the possibility of referencing first nations in other countries. This Laura Millar article, "Touchstones: Considering the Relationship between Memory and Archives", Archivaria 61, p.105-126, references a website that provides information about how The Maori in New Zealand and "the government – have come together to establish specific archival services for the country’s aboriginal people, addressing specific Maori concerns such as language and tra- ditions, genealogy, and land rights"(Millar, p.124). The site that Millar references is defunct, but try this one: http://archives.govt.nz/about/te-pae-whakawairua. There is also some interesting stuff about oral history in the article too.
