Golublog: An Anthropology Blog

In my recent trip to Australia I was bowled over to find what a superb job the Australian government has done of digitizing its archives. Now you don’t need to trek out to the Australian War Memorial (which has a “blog”:http://blog.awm.gov.au/) — You can now view, digitized, the “ENTIRE ANGAU WAR DIARY”:http://www.awm.gov.au/diaries/ww2/folder.asp?folder=288 as well as many other records — I can’t be bothered to dig out the numbers now. Amazing.

I was also glad to be turned on to the work of “Geoffrey Grey”:http://recollections.nma.gov.au/issues/vol_2_no2/papers/cluttering_up_the_department/geoffrey_gray/ who has published on “Ronald Berndt and Sydney Uni’s collection of artifacts”:http://recollections.nma.gov.au/issues/vol_2_no2/papers/cluttering_up_the_department/, “the politics of anthropology in Australia”:http://www.aiatsis.gov.au/aboriginal_studies_press/find_a_book/recent_releases/a_cautious_silence and “the history of Australian anthropologists’ involvement in WWII”:http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=3&hid=115&sid=6f1ae1aa-c9cc-4e87-a2a4-3059bc094641%40sessionmgr103 (sorry that last URL may be too crufty to work for you).

Superb, superb work in making research and records available.
