Abstract

This Primer explores some of the legal issues that arise for cultural institutions and other bodies in the acquisition, use and reproduction of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural material. The term 'cultural material' is used broadly to refer to collection items that reproduce, record or depict Indigenous people, cultures, knowledge and experiences: in some cases, this is highly sensitive or restricted information. It includes artistic outputs, and archival and research material.

Keywords: indigenous, culture, knowledge, legal, copyright, cultural, acquisition, use, reproduction, Aboriginal, Torres Strait, collection

JEL Classification: K00, K11, K1
