<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:Georgia">Following the announcement last year, here is the finalised program. <br></span><p><b><span style="font-family:Georgia">Finding
and Understanding Historical Sources in Australia and the Pacific: a workshop
for Anthropologists, Historians and Linguists</span></b><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Georgia"></span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-family:Georgia">28th - 30th January 2014</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-family:Georgia"></span></i><span style="font-family:Georgia">Venue: Room W3.03, Baldessin Precinct
Building, ANU, Canberra.</span>
</p><p><span style="font-family:Georgia">Map directions <a href="http://campusmap.anu.edu.au/displaybldg.asp?no=110" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Georgia">As
anthropologists, historians and linguists are aware, historical documents, or
unpublished sources, can contain important information on aspects of Pacific
Islander and Australian Aboriginal cultures. Over three days, this workshop
will explore the historical archives and the research techniques required to
identify and interpret material relevant to kinship, land, social organisation
and language. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Georgia">Beginning
with an introduction on archives; their formation, their organisation, what is
in them and what isn’t, the workshop will make use of archival materials on
loan from St Mark’s National Memorial Library (Canberra), the repository of
much of Lorimer Fison’s collection of kinship data. The target audience
will be anthropologists, linguists and historians—be they students, practitioners
or academic staff—and may be of interest to those working in Heritage and
Native Title. Registration is not necessary but if you are interested in
attending, please contact Piers Kelly (<a href="mailto:Piers.Kelly@anu.edu.au" target="_blank">Piers.Kelly@anu.edu.au</a>).</span><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Georgia"></span></p>
