Text and content advice:
Mrs Ruth Ellis and Mrs Olga Radke provided advice and access to family material including photos and in the case of Ruth items such as needlework and other handicrafts which we were able to photograph and refer to. They both shared some of their memories with the project team and provided advice on some of the content.
Originally the project was to include video stories from local western Arrarnta people, however due to the COVID- 19 pandemic this part of the project was delayed. Content will be added at a later date to provide a strong Indigenous voice on the website. However, we acknowledge the assistance of David Roennfeldt who provided translations and advice on the spelling of Western Arrarnta words and comments on the text throughout the website.
Others who provided advice on aspects the project as it developed include:
- Warren H Williams
- Heritage Alice Springs members
