The site was set up by Muurrbay in 2014-5 to share the Bundjalung-Yugambeh dictionary with funding from the Australian Government’s Indigenous Languages Support program . The project is still in development.

Various people, including researchers, have been writing down information about the Bandjalung language since the late 1800s. A few Bundjalung dialects have been recorded in some detail, while for others there are limited records, or no record at all. A large collection of audio recordings of Bundjalung speakers, and researchers’ field notes are held at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies in Canberra.
