The Museum’s successful repatriation program, which returns ancestral remains, burial goods and secret-sacred objects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, has assisted in fostering deep and ongoing relationships with Indigenous Queenslanders.

  • Report – Valuing the Queensland Museum
    "People rightly ask what is the contribution made to the lives of Queenslanders by our cultural organisations. The Queensland Museum and cultural organisations in general must be prepared to respond in an informed way. This is especially true in challenging economic times as the Museum plans the next developments on its campuses throughout the State. Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingency Valuation Study provides a new way of assessing the public value of the Queensland Museum. The Study presents evidence of this ongoing value in economic terms, based on sound, well-established survey and analysis techniques. The findings are comprehensive and provide a clear picture of the Museum's importance to its various stakeholders state-wide. This is the first time a cultural organisation in Australia has conducted such a study and it provides a model that might usefully be an exemplar for other organisations. I congratulate all those involved in the Study, both for the rigour of the research and analysis process and for the clarity of the reported outcomes. I commend the Study to our many supporters and friends. These are very exciting times for our Museum. Peter Swannell AM, Chair Board of the Queensland Museum The Queensland Museum wishes to thank Gillian Savage and Dr Rob Hall from Environmentrics and Professor David Throsby from Macquarie University for their support in developing and implementing this CVM Study of the Queensland Museum. As well the Museum expresses it’s thanks to McNair Ingenuity Research for conducting the actual web-based survey. 1 Valuing the Queensland Museum: A Contingent Valuation Study 2008 Report prepared by Deborah Tranter April 2009 On behalf of the Steering Committee: Deborah Tranter Director, Cobb+Co Museum and Regional Services Sarah Perrott Manager- Corporate Communications and Marketing Stephanie Tickle Project Manager, Corporate Services and Business Development 2 3 CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY................................................................................................

  • Lennon Heritage Places in Queensland Heritage
    Lennon Heritage places in Queensland Heritage Places in Queensland Jane Lennon For millennia people have left their mark on the land - scarred trees, handprints, rock art, shell middens. This urge to leave a sign of passing, of occupation, is strong in most cultures. These often accidental marks are today's heritage, the physical legacy of previous generations. From the historical date of some events and records of what happened on that date in a specific place, we can construct an account of its history. By examining the evidence left at the place as well as this record of history, we can determine its cultural significance to people today; that is, we create its heritage. A timeline of European events of historical significance to Queensland by century is presented in Appendix 1. The exploration of Terra Australis by mariners is the preoccupation of the first two centuries, until John Oxiey's survey in 1823. The convict era commenced in 1824 and ran until 1840, when free settlement brought an extensive if tenuous occupation to the southeast of today's Queensland and wider pastoral exploration began. After 30 years of European settlement, Brisbane was perceived as a 'sleepy hollow' and in 1854 there were complaints of dilapidated government buildings and services, but brick houses were being erected in North Quay and immigrants were establishing a thriving village in Fortitude Valley.^ By 1859 there were about 28,000 Queenslanders of European origin, half located in the country north to Rockhampton and half divided between Brisbane, Ipswich and smaller provincial towns. Following separation from New South Wales, the new colony set about establishing its mark in land surveys, marking out freehold, roads, railways and other utilitarian reserves.

  • Art Training in Brisbane to 1991
    Chapter 2 Those who started, those who stayed, those who departed, those who strayed: Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Preamble Throughout the second half of the twentieth century the higher education sector in Australia went through a series of reorganisations culminating in the Dawkins Report 1988 which recommended that the various technical colleges, teachers’ colleges and colleges of advanced education be incorporated into a system of multi-campus universities. Negotiations were put underway so that on 1 July 1991 the Queensland Conservatorium of Music amalgamated with Griffith University. The art, craft and design courses and students of the Queensland College of Art, from Associate Diploma level on, also joined Griffith University and on 1 January 1992 an independent history of 110 years was brought to a close. The history of the college over this time also reflected a series of restructures to mirror perceived educational needs and the political agendas of Queensland governments. The Brisbane School of Arts was founded in 1881 and incorporated into the Brisbane Technical College in 1884. As a result of the Technical Instruction Act of 1908, the suburban technical colleges at South Brisbane and West End were merged with Brisbane to form the Central Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Technical College (CTC) in 1909. When the Queensland Institute of Technology was established in 1965 on the same site, the CTC and its Art Branch retained their independence. In 1972 the Art Branch separated from the CTC to become the College of Art (CoA) which, two years later moved from George Street to purpose- built premises shared with the Seven Hills TAFE and was formally renamed the Queensland College of Art (QCA) in 1982.

    Nieuwsbr. Belg. Arachnol. Ver. (2012), 27(3): 131 Bibliografische referenties betreffende de Belgische arachnofauna, aangevuld met de arachnologische werken gepubliceerd door Belgische arachnologen. Léon Baert KBIN, Vautierstraat 29, 1000 Brussel [email protected] Lijst 1: Publicaties met betrekking tot de Belgische spinnenfauna. Lijst 2: Publicaties met betrekking tot de Belgische hooiwagen- en pseudoschorpioenenfauna Lijst 3: Publicaties met betrekking tot de niet-Belgische spinnenfauna gepubliceerd door Belgische auteurs. Lijst 4: Publicaties met betrekking tot de niet-Belgische arachnidenfauna (niet-spinnen) gepubliceerd door Belgische auteurs. Lijst 5: Scripties (Licentiaat/Masters) met betrekking tot de spinnenfauna. Lijst 6: Doctoraten (chronologisch) met betrekking tot de spinnenfauna. Inleiding De eerste literatuurlijsten met betrekking tot faunistische nota’s over de Belgische spinnenfauna werden gepubliceerd in de reeks “Catalogus van de Belgische spinnen, delen I t/m XIV”. De publicaties werden per jaar alfabetisch naar auteur opgelijst en genummerd zodat er in de database en de teksten vrij gemakkelijk kon naar gerefereerd worden. Het betrof hier enkel faunistische werken. VANUYTVEN publiceerde voor het eerst een alfabetisch naar auteur gerangschikte lijst van alle in de catalogi I t/m VII opgesomde publicaties in 1990. Vanaf 2002 werd in de Nieuwsbrief van de Belgische Arachnologische vereniging regelmatig een compilatie opgenomen van de Belgische spinnenliteratuur van de voorbije jaren. De lijst (Lijst 1) die hier is opgenomen, bevat naast de vele faunistische artikels, de eveneens talrijke niet-faunistische publicaties, aangevuld met de werken gepubliceerd tussen 1994 (Catalogus XIV) en eind 2012. In totaal werden tussen 1878 en heden 765 werken gepubliceerd. Ter aanvulling worden de publicaties betreffende de overige arachniden (hooiwagens en pseudoschorpioenen) in een aparte lijst opgenomen (Lijst 2).
