Welcome To Country by Selina Walker
Opening address from Dr Tyne Daile Sumner, President of aaDH.

Join members of the Australian Cultural Data Engine project for a free-flowing session on Cultural Analytics in Australia today. What are Australia's main sources of cultural data? How can and ought they be used in research? The panellists are Elvis Richardson, Prof Mitchell Whitelaw (ANU; https://mtchl.net/) and Dr Keir Winesmith (NFSA; https://keir.winesmith.co/about/). The discussion will be chaired by Prof Rachel Fensham (UoM; staff profile).

Dr Rose Barrowcliffe (Butchulla / Macquarie University), Dr Fiannuala Morgan (University of Melbourne) and Alison Dellit (Trove / National Library of Australia) discuss ethics and the politics of access in the age of corporate data mining.

Join us for an overview of the HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons, followed by a deep dive into the RDC focus area Language Data Commons of Australia (LDaCA), which will consider the ethical and sustainable collection and preservation of language data in Australia.
