Community Impact
HSKRC is an independent digital cultural and research project created for worldwide access. It preserves, organises and connects historical knowledge through a digital library, research articles, source-led knowledge pages, bilingual access and online research tools that can be used from anywhere in the world.
What HSKRC currently provides
These are working parts of the project that can be demonstrated directly on the website.
Digital Library
A growing structured collection of books and research materials with searchable bibliographic information.
Research & Knowledge
Articles, knowledge nodes and the Research Explorer connect topics, researchers and identifiable sources.
Bilingual Access
English and Persian interfaces help make the collection easier to use for people with different language preferences.
Source Transparency
HSKRC is being built around traceable sources and separates documented evidence from interpretation where possible.
Live Achievements
These figures are read automatically from the HSKRC research database. When a published book, article, research source, knowledge node or researcher is added, this section updates automatically.
Global reach, with a local connection
HSKRC is designed for readers, researchers, students and communities worldwide. At the same time, the project is being developed in Victoria and can also contribute locally by making cultural and historical knowledge more accessible to diverse communities in and around Greater Dandenong.
Achievements & Milestones
Permanent project milestones are listed below, while the live milestone panel updates automatically as the collection grows.
