COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION · WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Every story begins
with someone deciding
it matters.
A photograph in a drawer. A recipe remembered by heart. A building that is no longer there. A person whose memories should be heard. If it matters to you, it may matter to Western Australia.

Listen first.
Nothing submitted here is automatically published.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Sharing a story is not the same as giving away a story.
We review before we publish.
Identity, permissions, provenance, cultural rights and sensitivity may need to be checked before any public use.
Communities can set conditions.
Some knowledge may be private, culturally restricted, family-only or unsuitable for public access. That matters.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE?
Start with what
you have.
You do not need to know whether something is “important enough”. Tell us what you know. Context can be developed together.

THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US WITH A STORY
A contribution should begin a conversation — not end one.
Your contribution has been securely sent to WAIIVPA for review. Please keep the submission reference below. Nothing is published automatically.
Submission reference: —
We speak with the contributor and clarify the story.
We review context, provenance, people and source material.
Permissions, cultural authority, access and use are discussed.
If developed, the story is shared back with the people and community involved.
WHY THIS MATTERS
You may be holding
the piece of the story
that nobody else has.
Not every contribution becomes a film. Not every photograph becomes public. Sometimes preservation begins simply by making sure a name, a place or a memory is not lost.
To help Western Australia remember itself.
