Keeping Culture origins

Keeping Culture KMS is the successor of the Ara Irititja KMS software developed for the Pitjantjatjara Council’s Ara Irititja Project. The project commenced in 1994 with the aim of returning historical and cultural material to Anangu communities in the north-west corner of South Australia. The software has undergone several developments since the projects inception and has been successfully adopted by many organisations servicing Aboriginal communities in Australia.
