Funded Activity Summary

Indigenous Australia: A History of Documents 1770-2000. This project aims to address the ways Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are mostly known to others through the eyes of non-Indigenous observers rather than actual human interactions. This project applies new methodologies to written historical sources that are based on reflexive approaches, and the privileging of Aboriginal well being and Indigenous perspectives. By using these innovative decolonising methods to produce a four-volume documentary history of Indigenous Australia, this project aims to change the way documentary collections have shaped our past, thereby creating innovative insights into Australia’s history and new understandings of Indigenous peoples shaped partly by themselves.
