Media Coverage
The Institute keeps a record of how its work has been seen, heard and reported.
Documentation
Two kinds of record
The Institute documents its own work in two ways. The first is the primary record: audio and video recordings, photographs and slides made at field visits and public events. The second is the secondary record: the references, notices and reports that appear elsewhere, in newspapers, radio and community publications.
Both are useful. The primary record preserves the event itself, while the secondary record shows how a wider public understood it. Together they help future researchers judge not only what happened but how it was received.
Volunteers behind the camera
Much of the visual record has been made by volunteers, including professional filmmakers and photographers who have given their time to the Institute. Their footage of conferences, concerts, workshops and field trips forms part of the permanent collection, and photographers are credited for the images they contribute.
Using the material
Media held by the Institute is available for research and for approved public use. If you are a journalist, a student or a producer and you would like to consult recordings or images, please describe your project when you contact the Institute so that the right material and the right permissions can be arranged.
