Launching Pae Korokī, rethinking access, metadata, treaty partnerships, and the universe next door.

Harley Couper, Heritage Specialist, and Elisha Rolleston, Archivist and Researcher, Tauranga City Libraries

Couper and Rolleston discuss the development of tools and frameworks to integrate Māori knowledge and values into online access and preservation of cultural heritage material. These tools, such as the Kaitiakitanga Framework and the Kaupapa Kaitiakitanga Statement, aim to address issues of cultural ethics and intellectual property while respecting Māori values and perspectives.

Showcasing examples from Tauranga City Libraries' digital collection, the team demonstrate the use of this framework which assigns different cultural ethical statuses to items based on various factors and uses platforms such as Recollect to limit access to certain items. The team stress the importance of partnership and respect within the GLAM sector for culturally responsive and less racist practices.
