In a remarkable collaborative effort, authors Tracey Bunda and Laura Deane present a powerful new book that brings to life the Fryer Library Indigenous Collection.
This work features insights from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academics, researchers, and professional staff, including our IFC colleagues, Professor Bronwyn Fredericks, Amy Thompson, Arielle Henaway. alongside contributions from their non-Indigenous colleagues.
The aim is clear: to illuminate the rich narratives held within the collection through the lived experiences of Indigenous people.
By engaging deeply with these items, the contributors not only celebrate the diverse histories and cultures they represent but also create a pathway toward understanding and Reconciliation.
"Evoking the Fryer Library Indigenous Collection" invites readers to experience the joy and significance of these collections while fostering meaningful conversations about identity, culture, and collaboration. This book is not just an academic endeavor; it is a heartfelt invitation to engage with and honor Indigenous voices in our shared history.
