The Connecting Culture and Childhood project is a two-year research project that leverages a cross-cultural partnership between archives, academic institutions, researchers, and communities, to investigate the implications of the repatriation of archival recordings for children and young people. The partnership between organizations and co-applicants, collaborators, youth, students, and community elders/researchers at each site (Australia, Canada, South Africa, Uganda, USA) fosters a common mandate of engaging in socially responsible research for developing and mobilizing knowledge for community benefit.
