Legal primer on Cultural Institutions, Law and Indigenous Knowledge

On Friday 16 June 2006, a launch event was held in Canberra for the project 'Indigenous Knowledge and Intellectual Property: Access, Ownership and Control of Cultural Materials'.  This is a collaborative project between IPRIA and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.

One of the main outputs of this project is a legal primer directed to cultural institutions that hold Indigenous cultural materials: 'Cultural Institutions, Law and Indigenous Knowledge: A Legal Primer on the Management of Australian Indigenous Collections', by Emily Hudson. 

Bound copies of the Primer can be purchased for $22 each using the order form here
