Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholars from each state and territory are taking part in a collaborative project, preparing an Indigenous Australian Dictionary of Biography with nearly 200 new biographies. New entries will emphasise the contribution to community and family life, representing a move away from only including subjects who were ‘significant’ on the national, state or local stages.
