Resources and publications

This guideline explains how targeted recruitment strategies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can be consistent with discrimination laws.

The native title process has created valuable research resources assembled during the claim research. Although some of this material has come from other sources, the arrangement of the documents coupled with original field research gives a unique description of Indigenous societies and their connections with the land. Also, much of the field material is irreplaceable because the elders who gave the information may have passed away. This connection material is of great value, not only to claimants, but to the wider community because it offers a valuable contribution to Australian history, anthropology, sociology, land management and other disciplines.

This template can be used as checklist when you visit the AIATSIS collection or other collection institutions when researching your native title claim or materials relevant to your PBC's work.
