Major projects

Pluralizing the Archival Paradigm Through Education
The Pluralizing the Archival Paradigm Through Education project seeks to identify the current scope and extent of archival education in the Pacific Rim, and to encourage a number of research and development activities.

This project that commenced in 2005, is a collaboration between the directors of two of the largest archival education programs in the region – at UCLA and at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
 
Trust & Technology Project
The 'Trust and Technology: building an archival system for Indigenous oral memory' project is an Australian Research Council Linkage project

The focus of the T&T project is on enabling Koorie communities to archive oral memory, and to engage with existing government and institutional archives on their terms.
 
Smart Information Portals Project
This project is funded from 2006 to 2008 through the ARC Discovery Project Scheme and is currently being undertaken by researchers at Monash University's Centre for Organisational and Social Informatics.

The SIP project is investigating how smart information portals, can combine intelligent technologies and metadata-driven approaches to improve the health consumer’s information search.
 
Memories, Communities, Technologies Project
Memories, Communities, Technologies (MCT) is a joint project of Monash University (Australia) and Kings College London (UK)

The Memories, Communities, Technologies Network brings together researchers and stakeholders from communities, memory institutions and universities who are interested in exploring the rich interplay between memories, communities and technologies at the nexus between the humanities, social sciences and information technology.
 
Clever Recordkeeping Metadata Project
The Clever Recordkeeping Metadata Project aimed to develop a prototype to demonstrate how to overcome major barriers to the implementation of recordkeeping and resource discovery metadata standards, particularly in eGovernment.

The project wished to explore how to move away from the current resource intensive process of manual metadata attribution and stand-alone systems, towards an integrated suite of business systems and processes supporting recordkeeping functions.
