Content Summary:

Extracts from British House of Commons Select Committee of 1838; James Backhouse 1837; RC Mills 1915; SH Roberts 1924; F Engel 1969; JD Legge 1956; CD Rowley extracts from his 'Aborigines and Other Australians' 1964, and 'The Aboriginal Householder' 1967; HC Coombs 1968; Pittock 'Why the Rush in Aboriginal Affairs' 1969; several from AJ Grassby (c.1976); B Hocking 'Does Aboriginal Law Now Run in Australia?' 1979; F. Stevens 'Aboriginal Labour' 1971; D. Tacey 'Australians and the spirit of race' 1985.

Various letters and newletters including Abschol to Minister P Nixon (Sep. 1970); Central Australian Land Rights News, No.3 (1976); selected racially incorrect abstracts from Pearson's Weekly (undated, late 19th century?); K Gilbert (1972).

Some of these sources used in Pittock's writings, especially his Backhouse Lecture and land rights papers. Note that Rowley's essay was probably influenced by Fey and McNickle's 'Indians and Other Americans' (See also box 20/file 20.111).
