The last decade has seen a huge effort on the part of institutions and individuals to digitise audiovisual cultural heritage collections. Archival recordings of songs are often in demand for reasons such as family history, education, language revival work and to support intergenerational transmission of cultural practices. In Australia and elsewhere, tensions between institutions and communities may surround access to songs and similar materials. This presentation will consider some conundrums and complexities surrounding the sharing of archival materials on- and off-line.
