This project investigates endangered shield-making practices of northwest Western Australia and explores the potential of cultural revitalisation. By researching existing museum holdings of Wunda Shields in Australia and overseas, this project expects to generate new forms of knowledge that have been ignored or misunderstood by the archive. Developing a Digital Keeping Place that can re-house the Wunda Shields and re-prioritise Indigenous curatorial methodologies, these shields will be re-circulated through descendant communities to encourage shield revitalisation. Renewing the knowledge of Wunda shields, the outcomes of this project are expected to inform intangible cultural heritage projects and contribute to Indigenous wellbeing.

该项目调查了西澳大利亚西北部濒临灭绝的盾牌制作方法，并探索文化复兴的潜力。通过研究 Wunda Shields 在澳大利亚和海外现有的博物馆藏品，该项目预计会产生被档案馆忽视或误解的新形式的知识。开发一个数字保管场所，可以重新安置旺达盾牌并重新优先考虑土著策展方法，这些盾牌将通过后代社区重新流通，以鼓励盾牌复兴。该项目的成果将更新对旺达盾牌的认识，预计将为非物质文化遗产项目提供信息，并为土著人民的福祉做出贡献。
