25.01.2022 We have just started loading some newly digitised archives to our catalogue from the early 19th century. These records relate to Aboriginal people and cover the... dates 1832-1835 and 1837-1844. The records are ‘blanket returns’ which are lists of Aboriginal people who received blankets from the colonial authorities. The records are broadly arranged by locality and include both Indigenous and European names for each person as well as their age. These record series are, and always have been, an incredibly valuable source for people tracing family and personal history. http://ow.ly/KRtZ50Cijs9 #NAIDOCweek2020
