TALK: Friends of UWA Albany Sandwich Seminar

Professor Lydon will review the history of collecting Australian Aboriginal photographs and discuss the many ways that Aboriginal people are now using them. Archival photographs of Aboriginal people were amassed during the colonial period for a range of purposes, yet rarely to further an Indigenous agenda. Today however such images have been re-contextualised, used to reconstruct family history, document culture and express connections to place. They have become a significant heritage resource for relatives and descendants.
