The NSW Aborigines Protection/Welfare Board 1883-1969: A History

1883年至1967年，新南威尔士州土著居民的生活由新南威尔士州土著居民保护/福利委员会负责。该委员会通过隔离、同化、迁移儿童和扣留工资等政策对土著社区进行系统控制的影响将持续数十年，这些政府指令的负面后果今天仍然可以看到。然而，迄今为止，新南威尔士州土著居民保护/福利委员会没有实质性的历史。这个项目的目的是提供这样一个历史，基于广泛的档案和口述历史研究。该项目对新南威尔士州土著社区至关重要，预计将在此过程中鼓励土著历史学家的发展。

Between 1883 and 1967 the lives of Aboriginal people in New South Wales (NSW) were in the hands of the NSW Aborigines Protection/Welfare Board. The impact of the Board's systematic control over Aboriginal communities through policies of segregation, assimilation, child removal and wage withholding would endure for decades, and the negative results of those government directives are still being seen today. To date, however, no substantive history of the NSW Aborigines Protection/Welfare Board exists. This project aims to provide such a history, based on extensive archival and oral history research. Holding critical importance to NSW Aboriginal communities, the project expects to encourage the development of Indigenous historians in the process.
