The Aboriginal Reference Group was established to work with State Records of South Australia and the State Library of South Australia to enhance access to archives and services relating to Aboriginal people and culture.

Members of the ARG work collaboratively with State Records and the State Library to develop and implement responses to the International Council on Archives Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration.

They also narrow gaps in agencies’ compliance with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Library, Information and Resource Network Inc. (ATSILIRN) Protocols.

Members also advocate for Aboriginal people and communities, ensure State Records and the State Library’s activities reflect Aboriginal experiences and help agencies engage and partner with Aboriginal communities to deliver services and programs.

The ARG will meet a minimum of four times per year.
