Historical Pacific films

Historical Pacific films in the U.S. to be digitised

Anthropologist Joshua Bell and the global indigenous peoples group are part of an ongoing project focussing on indigenous people, called 'Recovering Voices'.

Mr Bell said he wants to make the footage accessible for Pacific communities.

He said the team will be going through the content of all the films that have been donated to them from across the region, as there is currently no background information on the footage.
