We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.

Cultural Sensitivity Warning
It is a condition of use of the cultural components of the Museum Archives that users ensure that any disclosure of information contained in this collection is consistent with the views and sensitivities of Indigenous people. Users are warned that there may be words and descriptions that may be culturally sensitive and which might not normally be used in certain public or community contexts. Users should also be aware that some records document research into people and cultures using a scientific research model dating from the first half of the twentieth century, and depicts people as research subjects in ways which may today be considered offensive. Some records contain terms and annotations that reflect the author's attitude or that of the period in which the item was written, and may be considered inappropriate today in some circumstances. Users should be aware that in some Indigenous communities, hearing names of deceased persons might cause sadness or distress, particularly to the relatives of these people. Furthermore, certain totemic symbols may also have prohibitions relating to the age, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. Records included may be subject to access conditions imposed by Indigenous communities and/or depositors. Users are advised that access to some materials may be subject to these terms and conditions that the Museum is required to maintain.

Research, ungrouped and blank data cards

Archive Collections / Board for Anthropological Research / Series AA346/04 / Research, ungrouped and blank data cards

This series comprises four groups of cards:

  1. Harvard and Adelaide Universities Anthropological Expedition sociological data research cards
    Approximately 125 cards in the format for Sociological Data cards used on the Harvard-Adelaide expedition. The series comprises printed cards with the following headings: (individual subject) Number, Name, Sex, Age, Effage, Location, Tribe and Date, and Remarks (over); and which have space for two photographs. Most cards have two black and white photographic prints attached, usually a front and a profile portrait showing head and shoulders or head and torso. Some photographs also show ' Adelaide S. Aust, Harvard-Adelaide Exp. 1938 N W ' and an (individual subject) number. The data headings are blank. The photographs appear to show non-Aboriginal people. These cards appear to be a research tool or possibly 'control' group for the Harvard and Adelaide Universities Anthropological Expedition. These cards are not numbered. Note that corresponding cards in the Anthropological Data format are located in the Birdsell collection (AA 689).
    These cards are located in Drawer 24.

  2. Ungrouped data cards
    A group of 15 cards in varying anthropological card formats. These cards have not been identified as relating to a particular expedition, and appear to be unsorted. Some cards relate to named individuals, including Nobby Forbes, apparently recorded at Twilight, near Eucla, W.A., in 1936, and Sidney James Cook. Note that further material relating to Nobby Forbes can be found in series AA 346/3, and photographs in AA 346/6.
    These cards are located in Drawer 24.

  3. Card dividers
    A group of cardboard dividers previously used to order cards. These dividers have expedition titles and card groups written on tabs.
    These cards are located in Drawer 24.

  4. Blank data cards
    Approximately 1,200 printed data cards, in various formats, which have not been used. These cards are stored in a type 5.1 archive box.
