  • NOTES on the TASMANIAN "BLACK WAR" 1827 • 1830 [By J
    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.

  • Archival Backgrounds in New South Wales 41
    Archival Backgrounds in New South Wales Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/22/1/39/2743910/aarc_22_1_04144142624tgn0r.pdf by guest on 23 September 2021 By ALLAN HORTON1 Public Library of New South Wales OME time ago in the American Archivist David S. 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.

  • 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
    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.

  • Remembering the Debate About Massacre in the Black War in Tasmania
    Coolabah, Vol.3, 2009, ISSN 1988-5946 Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona ‘The long shadow of remembrance’: Remembering the debate about massacre in the Black War in Tasmania Lyndall Ryan Copyright ©2009 Lyndall Ryan. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged Abstract: The Black War in Tasmania 1823-1834, is widely accorded by historians as one of the best documented of all Australia’s colonial frontier wars. Yet debate still rages about whether massacre was its defining feature and whether it accounted for the deaths of many Aborigines. As Keith Windschuttle pointed out in 2002, this is an important debate because it reflects on the character of the Australian nation and the behaviour of its colonial forbears in seizing control of Aboriginal land. To understand how the debate took shape and where it stands today, this paper reviews its origins in 1835 and then shows how it was played out over three historical periods: 1835- 1870; 1875-1939; and 1948-2008; by focussing on the key protagonists and how they used the available sources and methods and explanatory frameworks to make their case. The paper finds that in the first period, the belief in widespread massacre dominated the debate, drawn from oral testimony from the victorious combatants. In the second period, the belief in massacre denial took hold, based on the doctrine of the self-exterminating Aborigine. In the third period however, the protagonists engaged in a fierce contest for control of the debate.

  • 1 We Can Imagine the Books We'd Like to Read, Even If They Have Not Yet
    1 We can imagine the books we'd like to read, even if they have not yet been written, and we can imagine libraries full of books we would like to possess, even if they are well beyond our reach, because we enjoy dreaming up a library that reflects every one of our interests and every one of our foibles - a library that, in its variety and complexity, fully reflects the reader we are. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that, in a similar fashion, the identity of a society, or a national identity, can be mirrored by a library, by an assembly of titles that, practically and symbolically, serves as our collective definition.1 The collections and services of libraries and related agencies, such as museums and archives, are important components of social and institutional memory. They are both physical places of intellectual work and highly symbolic places. They represent national and cultural identity and aspirations.2 What a nation thinks, that it is. And what a nation thinks is for the most part what it reads. Investigations into social and political conditions are a mark of the time; they are many and elaborate but social and political conditions are largely determined by what is taking place in the imaginative life of the community.3 1 A Manguel, The library at night, Toronto, 2006, p. 294. 2 WB Rayward and C Jenkins, 'Libraries in times of war, revolution, and social change', Library Trends, vol. 55, no. 3, 2007, p. 361. 3 LS Jast, Libraries and living: essays and addresses of a public librarian, [s.l.], 1932, p.

McKnight be- came known to tens of thousands of American students through his textbooks on physical geography and North American geography, which passed through many editions (McKnight and Hess 2004, McKnight 2004). His American contributions to geography and geographic education are not part of this survey, which focuses on McKnight’s “regional specialty,” Australia. Between 1961 and 2003, McKnight made seventeen trips to the Land Down Under, most of them not short visits but rather lengthy stays. His research on and in Australia led to the authorship of six Australian books, a dozen Australian papers, chapters about Australia in four books, and a host of ephemeral writings on Australia. McKnight was born a Texan, in Dallas, October 8, 1928. His early years were spent in the idyllic setting of a large house in the pleasant inner suburban neighborhood of Munger Park, where he enthusias- tically attended the local James W. Fannin Elementary School and the Munger Place Methodist Church. At the age of nine, having been double-promoted three times, McKnight was already attending the J. L. Long Junior High when he was “bit by the travel bug.” His mother crowded young Tom, together with his sister Nancy and his aunt, cousin, and maternal grandmother, into a capacious Plymouth sedan and drove them from Dallas to Callander, Ontario, to see the famous Dionne quintuplets (McKnight 2002).
