Welcome to the Gugu Badhun Digital History Project

The goal of the Gugu Badhun Digital History Project is to video record and present the life histories of elders of the Gugu Badhun people as well as those of non-indigenous people associated with the Upper Burdekin area of NQ. This application is a lightweight, simple, web-based video annotation system.  Through the use of this software, members of this community are able to easily annotate portions of their history.

The application:

•  Allows digital videos to be uploaded and stored

•  Allows metadata to be attached to video files

•  Provides a search engine capable of searching both metadata and annotations stored  for each video

•  Provides a set of links describing videos which meet the search criteria
   
  

The project aims to have a database of video and audio interviews both with the Gugu Badhun people and some of the pastoralist families that ran the cattle stations on Gugu Badhun country west and North West of Townsville. The information is  stored digitally, indexed and readily retrievable.
