    495 NOTES ON THE TASMANIAN "BLACK WAR" 1827 • 1830 [By J. C. H. GILL, B.A., LL.B.] (Read to a meeting of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 May 1968.) (AU Rights Reserved) The Tasmanian Aboriginal, in general, and my topic, in particular, have an extensive bibliography and much archival material is also avaUable in the State Archives of Tasmania and in the Mitchell and Dixson Collections in the PubUc Library of New South Wales. James Bonwick (in 1870), J. E. Calder (1875) and C. TumbuU (1948) aU wrote accounts of the Black War con­ jointly with an account of the extirpation of the Tasmanoids.* It is obvious that to cover the subject properly one would require 900 pages instead of the 9,000 words to which I am Umited. Furthermore, unlimited time to research amongst archival material would be needed and research of this nature has not been possible at all. However, before Bonwick's work in 1870 there had already been written a number of Histories of Tasmania, as you will note from my own bibliography. MelvUle and Bischoff are virtuaUy contemporary with the topic and West little more than twenty years after the event. With these as my principal sources for the events of 1827-1830 I have sought briefly to recapitulate the sad story from its sorry beginning to its tragic aftermath with some observations on possible causes and effects. AN ENIGMA The Tasmanian aborigines, like all extinct peoples, must remain perforce something of an enigma, despite the fact that the last of them died within living memory.

MacMillan gave his view of the situation of archives in the State of New S South Wales in 1956.2 The following article is a documented statement of the historical background of the development of the State's archival organization. It will show that for almost a century the only body consistently interested in the preservation and management of both public and private archives has been the State Library, called the Public Library of New South Wales. The library was the first institution in the State to preserve the records of Australian history. It had its origins in the Australian Subscription Library, founded in 1826; and by the 1850's it had developed a strong interest in Australiana.3 When well-informed men thought of establishing a record office they naturally expected it to be associated with the State Library. In 1882 J. H. Heaton, journalist, historian, and statesman, had suggested to the Premier, Sir Henry Parkes, the establishment of a record office at the State Library and the appointment "of a group of learned gentlemen . to select material for a Record Office from European sources." * In the 1860's David Scott Mitchell had begun collecting Australiana concurrently with the trustees of the library, and in 1898 he officially announced his intention to give his collection to the State as the Mitchell Library, a department of the State Library.5 James Bonwick, who had the title of Archivist of New South Wales, went to England in 1884, and in September of that year he was writing to Premier Parkes, proposing that transcripts of material in London be preserved in the State Library.6 In 1888 1 The author is Archivist, Archives Department, Public Library of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

    Virtudes Epistêmicas Fundamentais Para Nomear Um Historiador No Dicionário Bibliográfico Australiano De 1949

    VIRTUDES EPISTÊMICAS FUNDAMENTAIS PARA NOMEAR UM HISTORIADOR NO DICIONÁRIO BIBLIOGRÁFICO AUSTRALIANO DE 1949. LETHICIA QUINTO CIRERA*1 Introdução: Esta comunicação explora as virtudes epistêmicas fundamentais para nomear um escritor como historiador na Austrália em meados do século passado. Trata-se de um trabalho exploratório sobre a história da historiografia australiana que nos auxilia na busca pelos primeiros manuais de introdução à história, produzidos naquele país. A pesquisa está integrada ao projeto “Teoria da história e Didática da história” (1860-1930), desenvolvida no Departamento e no Programa de Pós- Graduação em História da Universidade de Brasília. Nesse projeto procuramos mapear a profissionalização do historiador e a transnacionalização do método histórico na passagem do século XIX ao XX. Partimos da iniciativa de Percival Serle (1871-1951), que coletou sistematicamente informações biográficas desde 1929 na produção da obra que contém biografias de australianos, ou homens que estavam intimamente ligadas a Austrália, que morreram antes do final de 1942. Sua empreitada resultou no Australian Dictionary of National Bibliography, publicado em primeira edição no ano de 1949, em 2 volumes. Essa se tornou uma obra de referência por mais de 40 anos e apresenta grande importância não só para o período, mas também para as gerações posteriores. Contém diversas biografias feitas com o devido cuidado de aprofundar ao máximo em cada uma. É de grande importância, também, a possibilidade e facilidade de acesso a obra por meio do Projeto Gutenberg Australiano que disponibiliza hoje integralmente à obra em seu Website. Por essas razões e pelo seu corte cronológico o Australian Dictionary of National Bibliography foi escolhido como obra de referência para esta pesquisa.

  • Strategies of the Frontier in Fin De Siècle Australia

    Strategies of the Frontier in Fin De Siècle Australia

    ANTHONY PYM Strategies of the Frontier in fin de siècle Australia Published in Comparative Literature 48/1 (1996), 19-38. Historians of Australian culture have never been entirely at ease with the 1890s. On the one hand, the period has served as the privileged source of a nationalist mythology still in circulation. On the other, the same years bore traces of an international modernist culture, represented most saliently by the poet Christopher Brennan and the group of painters nominally headed by Tom Roberts. Separating the national from the international, so it would seem, were the French cultural influences known as Symbolism and Impressionism. Any appreciation of the nationalism and internationalism of the Australian 1890s requires an understanding of these French influences. And yet there remains a certain reluctance among comparatists to return to the analysis of influence, even within the relatively enlightened frame of postcolonial studies. I have elsewhere dealt with this problem with respect to the Spanish- American fin de siècle (1992), where I analyzed influences in terms of receptive strategies able to constitute and manipulate cultural frontiers. I now hope to show that the same notion of influence can be made historically respectable in the Australian case as well. My hypothesis is that Symbolism and Impressionism were used in Australia as strategic third terms that enabled Australians to lever certain regionalist ideals away from British metropolitan culture. The French influences entered the internal logic of an Australia that was both nationalist and internationalist, and did so in both painting and literature. To grasp the workings of what we might call a general strategy of “cultural leverage,” an adequate comparatist approach cannot separate any of these terms.

    Page 1 of 179 FUTURE MELBOURNE (PLANNING) COMMITTEE Agenda Item 5.1 REPORT CITY OF MELBOURNE HERITAGE STRATEGY AND A HISTORY OF THE CITY OF 4 September 2012 MELBOURNE’S URBAN ENVIRONMENT Presenter: David Mayes, Manager Strategic Planning Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Future Melbourne Committee’s endorsement of the draft City of Melbourne Heritage Strategy 2012 (Attachment 2) for public consultation, and for the Committee to note the Thematic History - A History of the City of Melbourne’s Urban Environment 2012 (Attachment 3). 2. The City of Melbourne Heritage Strategy 2012 is a KSA1 (Planning for Future Growth) deliverable. 3. The proposed strategy is a whole of Council policy which seeks to provide a framework for the identification, conservation and management of the city’s heritage. The Heritage Strategy will help strengthen the community’s understanding, appreciation and recognition of the city’s heritage. Key issues 4. The City of Melbourne commissioned historian Helen Doyle to write the thematic history, A History of the City of Melbourne’s Urban Environment 2012 and appointed an external reference group to assist in its development. The history describes the major themes which influenced the city’s past growth and development, and explains how and why the city looks as it does today. The document is a resource that can be used to help with the identification of historically significant places. 5. Context Planning consultants were engaged to help prepare the draft Heritage Strategy. Council’s roles and functions across the organisation in relation to heritage were reviewed and analysed.

    FIRST CONTACT in PORT PHILLIP Within This Section, Events Are Discussed Relating to the Colonisation of Port Phillip in 1835

    READINGS IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY -The History you were never taught THEME 6: FIRST CONTACT IN PORT PHILLIP Within this section, events are discussed relating to the colonisation of Port Phillip in 1835. The names of the principal characters involved, that of William Buckley, John Batman, John Pascoe Fawkner and William Barak are well known to the public. However as the saying goes, history is written by the winners. This section therefore endeavours to lift the veil on this period of our colonial history through an understanding of the Aboriginal perspective. A little understood narrative dictated by William Barak in 1888 is examined to reveal new insights about the influence of William Buckley on Aboriginal thinking, and the location of the 1835 treaty meeting with Batman. AH 6.1 Buckley’s Adjustment to Tribal Life AH 6.2 Murrungurk’s Law AH 6.3 Barak’s meeting with Batman AH 6.4 Interpreting Barak’s story AH 6.5 Batman’s second bogus treaty AH 6.6 The Naming of the Yarra River in 1835 AH 6.7 Melbourne’s feuding founding fathers THEME 6 QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION 1. If Buckley survived 32 years in Aboriginal society, was he as dumb as he was painted by some colonists? 2. If Batman had his treaties signed by eight Aboriginals, in ink, on a log, in middle of winter, how come there is not one ink blot, smudge, fingerprint or raindrop? 3. Who was the nicer person, John Batman or John Pascoe Fawkner? BUCKLEY’S ADJUSTMENT TO TRIBAL LIFE William Buckley is of course firmly entrenched in Australian history and folklore as ‘The Wild White Man’.

    List of multiple killings of Aborigines in Tasmania: 1804-1835 Ryan, Lyndall Wednesday 5 March 2008 Stable URL: http://www.massviolence.org/Article?id_article=106 PDF version: http://www.massviolence.org/PdfVersion?id_article=106 http://www.massviolence.org - ISSN 1961-9898 List of multiple killings of Aborigines in Tasmania: 1804-1835 Introduction Tasmania (known as Van Diemens Land until 1855) was occupied for at least 30,000 years by a hunter-gatherer people, the Tasmanian Aborigines, whose population in 1803 was estimated at 7,000 (Lourandos 1997:244; Calder 1875:17). Contrary to a long and widely held belief that they were a stone age people who were destined to die out as a result of 10,000 years of isolation from the Australian mainland, more recent research indicates that they were a dynamic people who not only reshaped their culture and society during the Holocene, but were increasing in population at British colonisation in 1803. (Lourandos 1997:281) By 1835 only one family remained in Tasmania. The vast majority had been killed, or had died from introduced disease, or had been forcibly removed from their homeland. The only survivors were those who escaped government control - in a sealing community on the Bass Strait islands. 1803-1821: British colonisation of Tasmania 1803: Informal colonisation commenced when small groups of British men employed in the sealing industry on the Bass Strait islands, initiated seasonal contact with Aboriginal groups along Tasmanias northern coastline. They traded seal carcasses and dogs in exchange for Aboriginal women for sexual and economic purposes. Sporadic conflict over women took place but few records exist of the details.
