The Keeping Place was created for native title organisations, Indigenous ranger programs and organisations operating within the Indigenous information and land management sector in Australia.
It’s a cloud-based solution to digitally protect and share cultural knowledge. It’s also a complete business tool, helping Traditional Owner groups protect their rights and interests in land.
When a Traditional Owner group subscribes to The Keeping Place, they get their own private and secure Keeping Place Site. Each group has full control over their site, which is tailored to their cultural and business needs
The Keeping Place only allows appropriate knowledge sharing. Cultural protocol and security permissions are assigned to records and data, so that knowledge sharing honours tradition.
Collect, protect and appropriately share cultural knowledge in a private digital cultural centre. Control how information is accessed and shared through security group settings and cultural protocol permissions.
Select locations of interest in GIS-based maps and quickly see linked information. Documents, videos, photos, stories and songs can be accessed by permitted users in just one click.
Keep lists up-to-date in one place. Add details about correspondence, training, skills and certificates.
Receive automated notifications about mining leases and other future acts. Plan and manage cultural heritage surveys and land management projects.
Manage and monitor agreement obligations and commitments. Use a workflow and reminder system to track obligations and trigger actions.
Subscribe and become an owner-member. As a social enterprise, we create sustainable social, economic and employment opportunities for First Nations people.
The Keeping Place is owned and controlled by the Traditional Owner groups that use the software. When an Aboriginal Corporation purchases the software, they also become an owner-member of The Keeping Place.
The Keeping Place allows you to apply cultural protocols to places, documents, photos, videos and audio recordings.
These protocols are verified for each user, so that information can only be viewed by permitted community members. You can assign multiple protocols to each record, making knowledge only available to users who meet all protocols.
Stories, song and lore handed down over generations. Artefacts held, artefacts taken and artefacts returned. Country and sites to monitor, manage and protect.
We’re working to keep Traditional Owner knowledge safe and connection to Country strong.
And we’re supporting Traditional Owner groups to protect their rights and interests in land and waters.
