Ngadlu tampinthi ngadlu Kaurna Miyurna yartangka. Munaintya puru purruna ngadlu-itya. Munaintyanangku yalaka tarrkarriana tuntarri.

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.

Series AA 52/7 comprises maps, figures and tracings relating to Campbell's research on Australian Aboriginal archaeology and anthropology. It includes the following items:

  • Pastoral Plan Sheet No 12, showing the area between the northern end of Lake Torrens and the southern end of Lake Eyre North. A hand-drawn blue line on the map may indicate Campbell's route during his 1920 trip to Cooper Creek.

  • Hundred of Seymour (Wellington area, lower River Murray).

  • Set of 14 tracings, on brown paper, of Aboriginal rock engravings from Burra Creek (see Campbell's paper, 'Detailed notes on the Aboriginal intaglios near Burra' in Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia, 49, 1925, pp. 123-7). These tracings were originally accessioned as AA 52/4/1-14 (Acc. No. 440-453).

  • Hand-drawn graph (50x80 cm) showing the number of Aboriginal people of full and mixed descent in South Australia during the period 1900-1937. This graph was compiled by Campbell in March 1938.

  • Hand-drawn graph (50x80 cm) showing the number of births and deaths among Aboriginal people of full and mixed descent at the three main mission stations in South Australia (presumably Point McLeay, Point Pearce and Koonibba) during the period 1922-1937. This graph was compiled by Campbell in March 1938.

  • Map (54x39 cm, mounted on cardboard) showing the route of the 'Leichardt Search Party', August 1938. This map also shows the boundaries of the Mount Dare, Dalhousie and Federal pastoral stations, and landscape features along the lower Finke River and in the Dalhousie Springs area.
