Thomson Family Gifts University Of Melbourne Collections Of Aboriginal Cultural Heritage

Thomson family gifted the UNESCO-inscribed Donald Thomson Ethnohistory Collection to the University of Melbourne. This collection gives insights into the economic lives and rich culture of Australian people.

Professor Thomson’s daughters Elaine Thomson and Louise Thomson-Officer said, “He advocated strongly for Indigenous people to be allowed to continue their way of life away and free from white Australia's interference when many in his field believed in assimilation. A man far ahead of his time, his efforts to document Indigenous culture for which he had the utmost respect, and his vocal outcry about atrocities perpetrated by churches and governments, meant he was not popular in Australia during his lifetime. The Queensland Government even banned him from the state after he exposed the ruthless treatment of Aboriginal people that took place at Aurukun Mission – images and field notes of these incidents are included in the collection."
