AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This recently published book is another fine example of a ‘demonstrative’ publication often produced by museums, archive authorities and public record offices, and libraries and institutions of a similar ilk. They are ‘demonstrative’ in that one of their aims is to demonstrate the value of the archival record for detailing Indigenous social and family history, or, as stated in the foreword, ‘We hope that it will inspire and inform the search for reconnection to family, land and culture for all Aboriginal people and will encourage many to find their own family history’ (Gibbs and Heazlewood 2008:v). In choosing a particular family, that of Lucy and Percy Pepper, the authors are seeking to illustrate what Aboriginal people may find in the archival record.' (Introduction)
