The Research Centre for Deep History is offering an incredible opportunity for Indigenous women engaged in family history research through their upcoming Residency Fellowship.
This program provides hands-on experience and practical research training at three of Canberra’s key institutions: AIATSIS, the National Library Australia, and the National Archives Australia.
Participants will gain valuable skills in navigating catalogues, using digital archives, and handling archival materials. The Residency also includes self-contained accommodation at ANU, a daily allowance, travel support, access to shared office space, and more.
